The Wallace Collection had been on my to-do list for several London visits and I finally made it in January. It is simply amazing! The collection reflects the acquisitions by one family over 4 generations and it is immense. Yet the museum is quite manageable and friendly for a day's outing. All in all it is a quite intimate experience.

The paintings themselves are lovely featuring Hals, Rembrandt, Titian, Boucher & Fragonard among others including a strong showing of Dutch & Fleming works. I especially enjoyed the collection of Sèvres porcelain, one of the finest in the world, while partner spent his time viewing the amour.

The museum has a restaurant in the enclosed courtyard, audio phones available for a donation, free admission, and knowledgeable room guides.

Never boring - always something to find

I love this museum: the basis of the collection seems to have been 'is it for sale and do I have my wallet with me', but this means that it is full of suprises and after several visits I am still...

I love this museum: the basis of the collection seems to have been 'is it for sale and do I have my wallet with me', but this means that it is full of suprises and after several visits I am still finding new treasures. It is pretty crammed, but the relatively small size of the house means that you can whisk around quite quickly, or just speed along to your favourite area before gallery fatigue sets in (anyone trying to do the National gallery in a short visit will know what I mean). The acid test: I took daughters 12 and 14 along, in the middle of a shoping trip, last week - despite initial 'we'll endure it for the sake of her credit card' looks, they really enjoyed it (and it is not too far from the coffee shops of Marylebone High Street. for a recovery break) The youngest has now developed a facination with minatures (of which there is a very good selection) I've been trying to persuade my husband to pop along in his lunch hour to see the armoury - not my area of interest but a good example of the amazing range of subjects on view. A friend and I spent a quick post lunch visit playing 'spot the painting that you recognise as a book cover illustration'. The restaurant is lovely - surely one of the best settings in London, but was closed when we visited on 1st September, being apparently refitted. Hope the food remains as good as I have expereinced - memorable risotto. My 2nd favourite gallery after the Courtauld in Somerset House. And it's free.

a little too much for me

This gallery has very ornate furniture and many, many paintings set fairly closely together. I found it a little overwhelming -- beautiful but not restful. If you like ornate art, though, you might...

This gallery has very ornate furniture and many, many paintings set fairly closely together. I found it a little overwhelming -- beautiful but not restful. If you like ornate art, though, you might love this. And there is an elegant dining area with great teas, cream and otherwise.

If you really want to feel what it was like to be in a posh London 18th century home

The pieces are over the top, but the layout within the home helps you to imagine what life for the privelage might have been like. After you've done all the typical tourist attractions, come to this...

The pieces are over the top, but the layout within the home helps you to imagine what life for the privelage might have been like. After you've done all the typical tourist attractions, come to this musuem-its a gem for your London experience. And stay for the cafe! We had tea, but also saw families and business meetings happening in the atrium cafe.

The Wallace Collection in London, little known but truely a gem and not very well known. You need to search it out and perhaps do a little walking or just get a cab.

The children may well love it, fantastic collection of armour, paintings pottery etc everything, will take you way more time to see it all than you expect. Do allow at least 4 hours to visit, really great collection my family loved it and we will go again for sure and we live 6000 miles away
