China Corridor at Windsor Castle

Sally Goodsir is Curator of Decorative Arts at Royal Collection Trust, with particular interests in ceramics, royal gardens and animals, and the Royal Mews. In 2020 during the lockdowns she embarked on a project to reconsider and expand the cataloguing of the ceramics collection and of 14000 records is now about halfway through, on which she and David Wheeler, Senior Decorative Arts Conservator, who has recently retired from the Royal Collection, spoke to the ECC in 2023. In 2024-25 a project to redisplay the China Corridor at Windsor Castle for the first time in a generation was undertaken by a team from across the Royal Household, installing over 750 ceramics over the hottest weeks of last summer. Her talk will look at the history of ceramics display at Windsor, and the new displays in the China Corridor and China Museum at the Castle.
