Description: This is the first exhibition to explore the instrumental roles of Hanoverian princesses Caroline of Ansbach (1683–1737), Augusta of Saxe-Gotha (1719–72), and Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (1744–1818)—all of whom married into the British royal family—and how they shaped the nation’s society and culture during a time of significant political transformation. Through their wide-ranging intellectual, social, and political interests, these princesses bolstered the greatest philosophical, scientific, and cultural luminaries of the day; brought the arts, enlightened conversation, and experimentation into their palaces and gardens; and actively supported British industry, trade, and imperial ambition, which together spurred unprecedented progressive dialogue and social change that continues to reverberate today.
