The Painted Hall at the Old Royal Naval College

Visit the Painted Hall at the Old Royal Naval College, often called "Britain's Sistine Chapel." Originally designed by Sir Christopher Wren as a dining hall for the Royal Hospital for Seamen, it was then painted by Sir James Thornhill for over a period of 19 years. The hall's ceiling features 200 mythological, historical, and contemporary figures, telling stories of political change, cultural successes, and historical achievements.
