Monet mania hits London: extended opening hours for Monet and London
Due to unprecedented demand, The Courtauld has extended its opening hours on four dates throughout the run of The Griffin Catalyst Exhibition: Monet and London. Views of the Thames, to ensure you don’t miss out.
The exhibition, opening on 27 September 2024, brings together – for the first time in 120 years – Claude Monet’s extraordinary series of paintings of the Thames in London.
Begun during three stays in the capital between 1899 and 1901, these extraordinary paintings of the Houses of Parliament, Charing Cross Bridge and Waterloo Bridge were unveiled in Paris in 1904 to great critical acclaim. Monet fervently wanted to show them in London the following year but plans fell through. The Courtauld will realise Monet’s unfulfilled ambition of exhibiting this exceptional series just 300 metres from the Savoy Hotel where the artist stayed and many of the works were painted.
The exhibition has attracted the biggest advance ticket sales in The Courtauld Gallery’s history and visitors are urged to book now to avoid disappointment and long queues.
The exhibition will open until 9pm on the following Friday evenings:
25 October; 22 November; 13 December; 10 January 2025.
Tickets for the extended hours slots are available to book now.

Additional to the extended opening hours, join us for the popular The Courtauld Lates: Monet and London to enjoy the exhibition after-hours, enjoy live DJ’s, Courtauld Cocktails and more, from 18:30 – 22:30.
Tickets for the opening Friday (27 September) have sold out (with limited tickets available on the door.) Tickets are now available for the closing Friday (17 January 2025).
On 16 October (6 – 9pm), After Hours with The Courtauld Research Forum will celebrate the research generated by The Courtauld Institute of Art; another opportunity to delve deeper into the exhibition. The evening’s activities will provoke questions around themes of air pollution, arts ability to evoke positive change, and ask what it means to be a Londoner in 2024. Tickets to be announced.
Courtauld Friends can enjoy the exhibition without the crowds at two exclusive early morning views on Saturday 30 November 2024 and Friday 10 January 2025, from 9-10am. Friends also get unlimited entry to the exhibition and The Courtauld Lates, access to sold out time slots, priority booking to selected events, advance notice of art history short courses, discounts in the shop and Art Café, and more.
