About this Event

Originally championed by the RSA, Prince Albert and Henry Cole, this event defined an era of innovation. Now, we are bringing it into the 21st century. 

Put on a VR headset & find yourself by the Prince of Wales Gate in Hyde Park in 1851, looking towards the main entrance of the Crystal Palace. Explore in & around the building, which includes models of many of the exhibits, and fixtures & fittings, meticulously crafted by Keith Wood.

It will be a fusion of Victorian grandeur and modern digital mastery. Join us for a trip down memory lane and a tribute to RSA's pioneering minds.
