To celebrate 150 years of Alexandra Palace, we’ve joined forces with renowned British visual artist, Helen Marshall, to create By The People: 150 Lifetimes, a giant mosaic made up of thousands of pictures of you!

The permanent artwork can be found in our East Court. It celebrates people’s memories and connections to the ‘People’s Palace’, exploring themes of identity, place, heritage and culture.

You sent us your photos of family days out, first steps, marriage proposals and life-affirming cultural experiences. Interwoven are pictures from our archive highlighting the individuals from the key moments of history, world firsts, innovation and local London life that have been part of Ally Pally’s unique century and a half of existence.

By the People: 150 Lifetimes is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, and made possible by money raised by National Lottery players. Our thanks go to all who contributed and to our dedicated team of volunteers and community curators for their work on their project.
