The Wallace Collection

Join us for a trip to the Wallace Collection on Saturday 13th February at 1pm! The group visited the collection 2 years ago and it's an amazing place.

About the Collection
The Wallace Collection is a national museum which displays the wonderful works of art collected in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by the first four Marquesses of Hertford and Sir Richard Wallace, the son of the 4th Marquess. It was bequeathed to the British nation by Sir Richard's widow, Lady Wallace, in 1897.

It is probably best known for its paintings by artists such as Titian, Rembrandt, Hals (The Laughing Cavalier) and Velázquez and for its superb collections of eighteenth-century French paintings, porcelain, furniture and gold boxes, probably the best to be found anywhere outside France.
But there are also splendid medieval and Renaissance objects, including Limoges enamels, maiolica, glass and bronzes, as well as the finest array of princely arms and armour in Britain, featuring both European and Oriental objects.

Entry to the museum is free, although I have organised a private tour of the collection for 25 people, so if you could let me know when you respond 'Yes' whether you would like to be part of the tour. It's £6 per person for the tour.

Afterwards, we wil be heading to the Angel in the Fields pub for a chat over a drink, click here for a map...

Hope to see you there, if you can't see us, give me a call.

Regards

    The Wallace Collection is a brilliant place, each room has a different style and colour. The tour guide was also very good and taught us alot about meanings within paintings.
