Leave your mark in the Painted Hall and be a part of our legacy, as we celebrate the 300th anniversary of our Baroque masterpiece.
All you need to do is visit us between June and November 2026 and make your own peace dove to feature in the final artwork. Peace dove making stations will be located in the Painted Hall and in the Chapel. Revisit with your annual pass.
Over the last 3 centuries, artists and storytellers have invited visitors to look up, pause, and imagine inside the Painted Hall.
One of the world’s most breathtaking Baroque interiors, it remains a place where creativity continues to thrive.
We invite you to join us and help us write the next chapter of our story together. More Information

Join us for a family take-over of the Painted Hall!
On the third Sunday of the month, we’ll be setting up activity stations throughout the hall to encourage every member of your family to get stuck in, play, create and learn together. So, whether you’re an artist in training, a construction maverick, history-lover or can never resist a costume, there’s plenty of fun to be had.
Alongside our activities inside the hall, we will be running free drop-in activities in additional spaces linked to the month’s theme. To kick start, we’ll be running free crafts in the Painted Hall Café. More information
Usually activities begin from 11am, and will wind down from 3.30pm, with last Family Day entry to Painted Hall advised at 3pm.
