Kew Palace opened to the public in April 2006 and was a
shortlisted finalist for the Gulbenkian Prize 2007.

The model of the Palace is constructed in three sections to enable it to be easily transported to outreach projects. It is currently on permanent display within the Palace in the Pages Waiting Room where seating and an audio-visual display provide information about the history of the Palace.

Accompanying the model is a tactile way-finding map located at the entrance to each floor. Made of beech with acrylic Braille and large-print labels the raised detail maps provide orientation, information about rooms and indicate which areas are open or closed to the public.

The model informs both visually impaired and sighted visitors about the scale, style and architectural detail of the Palace as well as aiding way-finding to exterior access points.
