The Wallace Collection in London, little known but truely a gem and not very well known. You need to search it out and perhaps do a little walking or just get a cab. The children may well love it, fantastic collection of armour, paintings pottery etc everything, will take you way more time to see it all than you expect.... more

Its great. You should go, even if you only pop in, (admission is free and its in the center of London, near to other tourist attractions), but there's a good chance you'll spend much longer than you planned for there. The collection and interior of the house are beautiful and magnificent. You can see Fragonard's 'The Swing'. I recommend looking... more

The Wallace Collection had been on our to-do list for several London visits and we went there on a Sunday morning in June and we agree with the previous reviews that.. “It is simply amazing!”……… Although much larger than we were expecting it is very intimate and comfortable to visit . As all the previous reviewers have said the collection... more

A hidden gem, tucked-away in a leafy square just behind Selfriges store on frenetic Oxford Street, but not to be missed. Personally,not enamoured by flouncy flashy French styles of art, but nevertheless entirely 'gobsmacked' by the sheer scale and quality on display here. Such an experience too to come face to face with Rembrandt's selfportrait as well as the Laughing... more

The Wallace Collection had been on my to-do list for several London visits and I finally made it in January. It is simply amazing! The collection reflects the acquisitions by one family over 4 generations and it is immense. Yet the museum is quite manageable and friendly for a day's outing. All in all it is a quite intimate experience.... more

I was blown away by the Wallace Colletion. I'm not educated in art history but the art work here is amazing. Beautiful rococo work. It helped that I was with people who knew a lot about the collection but well worth the visit even if you dont know everything about what is in there. Lots of boulle furniture, armor, sevre... more

I had heard of the Wallace Collection many times, but had never visited it in my many visits to London. Only now do I realize how much of an omission it was. The Collection is located in Hertoford House, a beautiful mansion in Manchester Square, in the heart of London. It contains mostly French XVII and XVIII century objets d'art,... more

I love this museum: the basis of the collection seems to have been 'is it for sale and do I have my wallet with me', but this means that it is full of suprises and after several visits I am still finding new treasures. It is pretty crammed, but the relatively small size of the house means that you can... more

This gallery has very ornate furniture and many, many paintings set fairly closely together. I found it a little overwhelming -- beautiful but not restful. If you like ornate art, though, you might love this. And there is an elegant dining area with great teas, cream and otherwise. more
