Queen’s head

Art

A new exhibition of portraits of the Queen opens at the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh on 25 June. Sixty images of Elizabeth II, spanning the 60 years she has been monarch, will be on display. Pupils visiting the show will also be able to learn from accompanying material about the range of artistic creativity inspired in Britain during her reign.
