The Courtauld Institute of Art



The Courtauld Institute of Art, including the Courtauld Gallery, has an important collection of old master and impressionist paintings

It is situated in Somerset House, a large building situated on the south side of the Strand in central London, overlooking the River Thames, just east of Waterloo Bridge. The building dates from 1776–96.

The Gallery is a lot quieter than the other galleries in Central London and offers the opportunity to closely study great works unhurriedly in a beautiful and tranquil setting.

The admission fee is £ 5 but Mondays are free.
