About the Conservation Insight Tours

Ascend 60 feet and uncover the secrets of Britain’s largest painted ceiling.

Painted between 1707 and 1726, the Painted Hall at the Old Royal Naval College hides many surprises. During a major conservation project, you have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the drama of this vast masterpiece up close.

The 50-minute, accessible tour via a special observation deck will allow you to discover the painting’s mysteries as they are revealed for the first time in half a century.

Tours will bring to life the history of the ceiling paintings and also include a talk by one of the conservators to learn more about their work.

 

Access

The observation deck is reached by a scaffold staircase with 67 steps. Lift access is available for those unable to climb stairs, but must be pre-booked. Please call the Old Royal Naval College on 020 8269 4799 to discuss your requirements.
