Hyde Park

The Albert Memorial, situated in Kensington Gardens, was commissioned by Queen Victoria in memory of her beloved husband, Prince Albert who died of typhoid in 1861. The memorial was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the Gothic Revival style and was opened in July 1872

Memorialul Prinţului Albert aflat în Hyde Park a fost proiectat de Gilbert Scott în stil gotic victorian şi a fost terminat în anul 1872.

The gilt bronze memorial statue of Albert, by John Henry Foley and Thomas Brock was ceremonially "seated" in 1875, three years after the memorial opened. His statue holds a catalogue of the Great Exhibition, and is robed as a Knight of the Garter.

Statuia Prinţului Albert, ţinând în mână Catalogul Expoziţiei Universale din 1851, (opera lui John Foley) are 4,25 metri şi a fost instalată în anul 1876

The central part of the memorial is surrounded by the elaborate sculptural Frieze of Parnassus (named after Mount Parnassus, the favorite resting place for the Greek muses), which depicts 169 individual painters, composers, architects, poets, and sculptors.

Six million people—equivalent to a third of the entire population of Britain at the time—visited the exhibition. The Great Exhibition made a surplus (£16,190,000 as of 2012), which was used to found the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Science Museum and the Natural History Museum.

Expoziţia deschisă de Prinţul Albert în Hyde Park în anul 1851 (în pofida opoziţiei de peste doi ani a Parlamentului) a adus peste 6 milioane de vizitatori şi un profit de peste 200.000 de lire

Monumentul are şapte rânduri de statui
