Wallace Collection
About
The Wallace Collection is a free‑entry national museum that showcases unmatched masterpieces of fine and decorative arts. Nestled in the historic Hertford House on Manchester Square in London’s Marylebone district, the museum boasts a world‑class collection spanning from the 14th to the late 19th century. Visitors can explore dazzling oil paintings by titans such as Titian, Velázquez, Rubens and Van Dyck, alongside princely arms and armour, exquisite 18th‑century French furniture, Limoges enamel, maiolica, glass, and bronzes. The museum is open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (closed on 24–26 December each year). While entry to the permanent collection is free, temporary exhibitions require a ticket—often available at a concession price—and guests can enjoy the complimentary digital guide and their on‑site café and restaurant. Regular visitors are encouraged to book group tours or special events in advance; group visits for 20 people start at £250, and exclusive out‑of‑hours tours are priced from £1,500 + VAT. Whether you are a history enthusiast, art lover, or simply wish to experience London’s cultural heritage, the Wallace Collection offers an inspiring, accessible, and unforgettable journey through a rare assemblage of artistic achievement.
