Visit the Wallace Collection!

Come along on Sunday 22nd November to visit the Wallace Collection!

About the collection
The Wallace Collection is a national museum, established in 1897 and which displays the wonderful works of art collected in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by the first four Marquesses of Hertford and Sir Richard Wallace, the son of the 4th Marquess. The collection consists of over 5,500 items.

It is probably best known for its paintings by artists such as Titian, Rembrandt, Hals (The Laughing Cavalier) and Velázquez. It also holds paintings by Rubens, Van Dyck, Canaletto and Gainsborough. It has a superb collection of eighteenth-century French paintings, porcelain, furniture and gold boxes, probably the best to be found anywhere outside France.

There are also splendid medieval and Renaissance objects, including Limoges enamels, maiolica, glass and bronzes, as well as the finest array of princely arms and armour in Britain, featuring both European and Oriental objects.

Cost
Entry is free!

The visit should last about 1h 30mins/2 hours. The visit is self guiding.
