Churchill and Blenheim Palace Exhibition

Following the webcast, the highly anticipated Churchill and Blenheim Palace exhibition will open on September 18. The exhibition will feature a broad range of extraordinary artifacts, providing a glimpse into the extraordinary affection Churchill had for his ancestral home.

A centerpiece of the exhibition is a scale model of Blenheim Palace as large as a queen-size bed. The model was created for and exhibited in the Churchill Pavilion at the 1964–65 World’s Fair in New York City. It was commissioned by the Hallmark Greeting Card Company, whose founder, Joyce Hall, was an enthusiastic Churchillian. The model was built in Independence, Missouri, the home of President Harry S Truman, who brought Churchill to Westminster College in 1946 to deliver what became known as the “Iron Curtain” speech.
