This is a lovely gem of a gallery. It is quite small and has a feeling of intimacy, but the gallery houses some of the best impressionists works out there. There is a lot of see and you are able to get quite close to the works without having to fight your way through a crowd. I would thoroughly recommend... More

It's in the Somerset House which is quite a beautiful old building in its own sense and the collection is just wonderful. again, not an art fan but quite enjoyed myself strolling through the rooms and searching for my friends "pieces" that she had to see for her art appreciation class. amazingly, I'll go back and take my husband. he...

This is a worthwhile visit for lovers of Picasso and impressionists, it only takes 20 minutes to tour all the small rooms but this is a welcome change from the other monstrous museums like the national gallery and British museum that span miles.

It is refreshing to see a public place made available to the public. I can remember when it was a private car park for staff and visitors. Now it has fountains which is frequently the source of great amusement for those running through it, especially children. It's possible to sit at tables and take a break from the nearby Strand....

I visited for the Becoming Picasso exhibition and was not disappointed by the breadth of amazing and very famous artists on display, on the lead up to Picasso. Dont miss either on the ground floor the really incredible medieval art on display. The detail,... More

The Courtauld is a well kept secret and the best gallery for great familiar paintings in a small gallery. Just take in two rooms per visit. It is magic. Don't miss it

The collection of the Courtauld Gallery is based on the collection of one man. He happened to be collecting at the turn of the last century when many of the paintings we love were available cheaply, so if one had an eye and interest, one might collect all the Impressionists painting in Paris plus gems from medieval, Renaissance and Baroque...

Not all that. The Picasso exhibit is all of 10 paintings in a small over crowded room. There was just not much to draw one into the art. We spent 30 minutes and saw it all.
