Princess Diana's former home, Kensington Palace, was re-branded "The Enchanted Palace" on Friday, March 26, 2010 to lure tourists from other popular London sights, such as Madame Tussauds waxworks and the Tower of London, where the Crown Jewels are displayed (behind thick glass).
In this interactive age, it's not enough for a stately palace to offer royal art, staid banquet rooms and roped-off thrones, so curators have opted for fashion, performance art and a bit of Alice in Wonderland fantasy.
The two-years exhibit, meant to draw viewers into the lives of past residents, uses lighting, actors and musicians to set the mood. One man even coaxes sound from a saw with a violin bow.
