The Courtauld Gallery is home to one of the greatest collections of art in the UK and an annual programme of focused exhibitions, displays and contemporary commissions. All housed in a beautiful human-sized gallery at Somerset House.
The Courtauld Institute is a research-led, independent college of the University of London, offering world–renowned programmes in the history, conservation, curation and business of art.
We care for an outstanding art collection, advance the study and conservation of visual art, and share it through acclaimed exhibitions. Your support helps us inspire new ways of seeing and thinking about art.
