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.
