Late night openings announced for the final week of Monet and London

21 Nov 2024

More tickets have been released for the final week of The Courtauld Gallery’s blockbuster exhibition The Griffin Catalyst Exhibition: Monet and London. Views of the Thames, due to exceptional demand. 

The exhibition 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 attracted the biggest advance ticket sales in The Courtauld Gallery’s history and general tickets sold out a month after the exhibition opened. Due to the unprecedented demand, The Courtauld is extended its opening hours every evening in the final week of the run to ensure visitors don’t miss out.  

The exhibition will be open from 10:00 – 21:00 from Monday 13 – Thursday 16 January and Saturday 18 – Sunday 19 January 2025.

Additionally, the exhibition will open on Friday 17 January 2025 for The Courtauld Lates until 22:30, including bars, Courtauld Cocktails and a live DJ throughout the evening. 

Tickets for the extended hours slots are available to purchase on The Courtauld’s website from Thursday 21 November, 10:00 (GMT). 

Once these tickets sell out, no further tickets will be made available. The only tickets available to purchase will be members tickets exclusively for Courtauld Friends.  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 9:00 – 10:00.
