The Courtauld Gallery and the Leon Kossoff Learning Centre
Let yourself be inspired by our artists and use your imagination to become a portrait revolutionary for the day.
Pick up a trail when you arrive at the Gallery and go on a hunt to discover our collection of portraits. You might find old friends and also some new! Then join us in our Leon Kossoff Learning Centre to give your favourite portrait an unusual makeover using paint, collage techniques and eclectic craft materials. What will you add? What will you alter? All materials will be provided. Just bring your imaginations and creative ideas.
Trails are available to pick up in the gallery from 10:00.
This trail is included with Gallery Entry. Tickets to The Courtauld Gallery are available to purchase on our website or in person at the ticket desk. Under 18s go free. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
The Leon Kossoff Learning Centre will be open from 11:00 – 16:00. Please note at busy times we may have to ask you to wait for a space to become available.
Prams: visitors should keep their prams with them in the Courtauld Gallery. Please note there are 5 steps from the Entrance Hall to the main lift (a platform lift is available for step-free access). Family visitors attending the Learning Centre for the activity are welcome to leave their prams in our Learning Centre Cloakroom in the Courtauld Institute.
Baby changing facilities are available in the Lower Ground Floor of the Courtauld Gallery (accessed by the main lift) and in the Learning Centre cloakroom for use for this family activity.
