Well worth a visit
We spent a wonderful couple of hours here on an otherwise busy saturday morning in London. The rooms are well laid out with some really impressive works of art. I originally came to see the famous Manet Bar at the Follies Bergaires and Van Gogh's Bandaged Ear but was very impressed by the whole collection. The 12th and 13th century works are stunning. The £5 addmission fee is well worth it.
Very interesting
The collection is "small", but it does have great masterpieces from all centuries, very well shown and accessible, Infact you can walk around the masterpieces, take pictures and there's n crowd at all !
Do not miss it if you like art.
The Courtauld Institute of art is conveniently located on the Strand as part of Somerset House. The art gallery is much smaller and more intimate than the National Gallery, meaning it is less daunting in terms of scale. You can easily get round in an hour or two. The standard of art on show is second to none regarding the impressionists, and also there is excellent 16th/17th century art on show with a lot of the big names. It really wasnt busy when I went on a Saturday but for the £5 pound entry fee it is well worthwhile.
I personally considered the Gaugin pieces on show to be even better than those in the National Gallery.
Overall a really enjoyable visit.
Intimate Art Gallery
This is an execellent setting to experience a fair amount of world-class paintings by the older artists such as Botticelli and Rubens along with "newer" artists such as Manet, Monet, and Van Gogh.
I went specifically to see Manet's "A Bar at the Folies-Bergeres" and was pleasantly surprised by a number of other paintings such as Ruben's "Descent from the Cross" and Van Gogh's "Self-portrait with Bandaged Ear."
Within walking distance of the Savoy Hotel with Temple Underground Station being the closest access for subway travellers.
Lovely museum with beautiful art
The Courtauld Gallery is a nice place with beautiful art in nice surroundings. The French and Italian pieces are a must see. We visited lastweek during the special Renoir exhibition. At first my main interest was only to see the famous Manet piece but there is so much more to see. Not as exciting as the National Gallery but it is a must on your to do list whilst in London.
