The king and the showgirl

The National Portrait Gallery is deeply saddened by the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning monarch in British history. Throughout her 70-year reign, Her Majesty represented graciousness, humanity and stability during times of enormous social change.

Road closures for the Canberra Marathon will disrupt vehicle access to our building and carpark on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 April.
