Wallace Collection

The Wallace Collection displays Old Master paintings, French decorative arts and arms and armour inside the former Hertford family townhouse.

Wallace Collection

Why go

Its domestic setting makes major art feel unusually close. Rooms move between eighteenth-century French furniture and porcelain, Old Master paintings and an extensive armour collection without the scale of a national museum. It is especially rewarding for visitors interested in French art, interiors and carefully arranged historic collections.

What to look for

  • Fragonard's The Swing
  • Frans Hals's The Laughing Cavalier
  • Sèvres porcelain and the armour galleries

Useful to know

  • Check current admission, temporary gallery closures and exhibition conditions on the museum's official site.
