Service, Ceremony and Tradition: The Diamond Jubilee Portrait in Alberta

Now showing

Explore Alberta's connections to constitutional monarchy through an exhibition created to showcase a masterful artwork by Canadian artist Phil Richards.

The centrepiece of Service, Ceremony and Tradition is the official diamond jubilee portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, unveiled at Buckingham Palace in 2012 in celebration of the 60th year of her reign. The portrait has been displayed at provincial buildings across Canada and has travelled west to arrive in Alberta in 2023 for its year-long residency in the Borealis Gallery.

Discover intriguing details about the creation of the portrait, the role of the monarchy in the naming of our province and so much more.
