In summer 2018  The Queens Diamond Jubilee Galleries will open in the churchs medieval triforium  an internal gallery which runs 70 feet above the floor of the Abbey. Entrance to the space  never before opened to the public  will be through a new tower outside Poets Corner  opposite the Palace of Westminster. This will be the most significant addition to the Abbey since Nicholas Hawksmoors iconic towers were completed in 1745. The treasures displayed will reflect the Abbeys rich thousand-year history. The Galleries will also grant magnificent views to Parliament Square and the Palace of Westminster  as well as wonderful vistas across the Abbey  which Betjeman described as \"the finest view in Europe\". The Galleries mark the final phase of the Abbeys \"2020 Vision\"  which aimed to improve facilities for the Abbeys two million worshippers and visitors. This richly illustrated guide  written by Abbey staff  discusses both the overall themes explored in the exhibition  and a selection of the individual exhibits.Published to coincide with the opening of the Galleries in Summer 2018.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44955601535029,"sku":"ByrdShop_1785511319","price":28.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781785511318.jpg?v=1770313061","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-queens-diamond-jubilee-galleries-westminster-abbey","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
