In 2007, The Palace of Versailles and the Danish Kings’Rosenborg Castle – co-organiser of the exhibition organize a unique exhibition evoking the splendour of the Sun King's court when the Palace of Versailles was furnished in silver. The first furniture for the State Apartments was in solid silver and unimaginably luxurious.
Seventy items from the Court of the Danish Royals will be part of the exhibition, among those are the three silver lions and the silver throne chair of Queen Sofia Magdalene at King Chr. IV's crowning.
Queen Margrethe attend the inauguration "When Versailles was Furnished in Silver to château de Versailles" 19 november 2007.
