The Courtauld Lates – Frank Auerbach

Join us for The Courtauld Lates, and enjoy after-hours art, cocktails and music at The Courtauld Gallery.

The Courtauld Gallery will open its doors for late-night access until 22:30, giving visitors the chance to enjoy an evening of world-class art, cocktails and music surrounded by The Courtauld’s collection of masterpieces at Somerset House.

Join us on Fri 24 May 2024 for a last chance to experience our five star exhibition The Griffin Catalyst Exhibition: Frank Auerbach – The Charcoal Heads after hours.

You can also preview Good Morning, Midnight, a new exhibition curated by The Courtauld’s 2023-24 MA Curating the Art Museum students, and watch a piece of performance art The Touch of the Human Hand, responding to the exhibition by artist Blue Pieta.

Unwind after work and explore masterpieces from The Courtauld’s world-renowned art collection, such as Van Gogh’s Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear and Manet’s A Bar at the Folies-Bergère. Other highlights include the Bloomsbury Room, the Medieval and Early Renaissance gallery, and the magnificent Blavatnik Fine Rooms.

A pop-up bar serving ‘Courtauld Cocktails’ will be open in The Courtauld Shop on the lower ground floor, while the Art Café will be open all night, with a food station available for a light snack.

Plus live DJ sets in the Gallery Entrance Hall throughout the evening.
