Over the years have been to all the main London art galleries but never this one. Went there for the Picasso 1901 exhibition which ended last month, and took in a number of the other rooms as well. Courtauld Gallery (within Somerset House) is bright and airy with lots of space - for me just the right environment for viewing... More

This small gallery is a house of delights. Set on several floors it often has a couple of temporary exhibitions which are usually well worth seeing but the real delight is in wandering around the rooms containing their permanent collection and suddenly coming across paintings you've seen in books since your childhood and had no idea the originals were here.

Like the headline says. Not the biggest collection, but free or cheap at least one day of the week. Definitely a must see for art lovers. Some rennaisance stuff, but the highlights are the more modern pieces. There are a few free galleries on the East side of the courtyard too.

First time at this gallery Don't know how I missed it. Also lovely courtyard ,pleasant outdoor café. and fountains.

Visited here for the first time and really enjoyed the Picasso exhibition and also the permanent collection. Gallery is small enough to take in at one go,,without suffering overload. Despite the popularity of the Picasso exhibition, it was comfortable to navigate, no crowds around each painting. Very attractive cafe with cool and pleasant exterior seating area. Our first visit, but.... More

A small gallery compared to the big guns like the National Gallery or Tate but Courtauld turns that into an advantage by showcasing some of the best paintings from the Impressioinist and Post Impressionist periods in an easy, intimate atmosphere. Additionally the gallery puts together brilliant exhibitions on specific painters (like Picasso in spring 2013) borrowing art from other major... More

Lovely place to chill for an hour and look at artwork! It's small so you won't run your feet off and they have art you'll recognize even if you aren't an art major!

Tucked away off the Strand near Trafalgar Square, the Courtauld Gallery boasts a fine collection of Impressionist paintings, both British and European. The gallery consists of smaller rooms than the National Gallery, and makes for a more intimate viewing experience. There is a free day (check website). Well worth a visit!
