The Wallace Collection

Overview

A free national museum, displaying superb works of art in an historic London town house. The collection was acquired principally in the 19thC by the 3rd & 4th Marquesses of Hertford & Sir Richard Wallace, the illegitimate son of the 4th Marquess. The 28 rooms, many recently refurbished with elaborate gilding & wall silks, present collections of French 18thC painting, furniture and porcelain (many once owned by Madame de Pompadour & Queen Marie-Antoinette) together with paintings by Titian, Canaletto, Rembrandt and Gainsborough, Hals' 'The Laughing Cavalier' & Fragonard's 'The Swing', 4 armouries and wonderful Renaissance treasures. Dine in the beautiful glazed courtyard restuarant.
