The Royal Albert Hall is one of a group of institutions designed to showcase the best talent in Britain. Its compatriots are the Royal College of Art, the Imperial College of Science and Technology, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Natural History Museum, and the Science Museum. Construction of the Hall was made possible by proceeds from the Great Exhibition of 1851, the first exposition which we now know as World’s Fairs. Today the Hall is a must-see for visitors to London and showcases the world’s best talent. The building features a spectacular iron and glass dome. Resembling a spider web, this structure is more amazing when you remind yourself how long ago it was built. Prince Albert never lived to see the completion of the building named in his honor. He died in 1861, but his widow, Queen Victoria was present at the opening ceremonies.
