Feature

Celebrating Mosaic at Parliament

UK Parliament is home to six beautiful pictorial mosaics. They can be seen in the Central Lobby and St Stephen’s Hall, at the heart of the Palace of Westminster. The sixth and final mosaic was unveiled 100 years ago – on 29 October 1926.

In this interactive online feature, learn about the symbolism contained in each mosaic.
