If the collection bears the name of the family which bequeathed its private collection to the State, they all come from the Marquis of Hertford, collector and art lover from father to son for generations, who collected all these exceptional pieces throughout his life. Besides, these little masterpieces are gathered in Hertford House, a beautiful 18th century French style building. You will find Le Titien, Rembrandt or Velasquez, and of course, a large selection of works by French artists such as Boucher, Watteau and Fragonard. The Wallace Collection also has magnificent medieval and Renaissance pieces, furniture in Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI style, a collection of Sevres porcelain, Limoges, majolica and an impressive collection of arms and armor.

beau musée, un peu à l'écart des foules
ce musée, issue d'une collection privée, regroupe de grands tableaux 17-18ème siècles notamment, avec des meubles, des armures médiévales, etc Plutôt à l'écart des flux de touristes, même si Oxford Street n'est pas très loin, ce musée est plutôt calme, très british. Entrée gratuite, un bon plan dans l'ouest de Londres !

Excellent musée
Superbe collection dans un lieu extraordinaire. Beaucoup de chefs d'œuvre de toutes époques niveau peinture. Une salle d'armes très bien dotée. Les salles se suivent et ne se ressemblent pas. Le musée est gratuit et dispose d'un très sympathique café restaurant sous la verrière de la cour intérieure.

Probablement pas un "indispensable" de Londres si vous n'y restez qu'un weekend mais une visite particulièrement agréable, loin du gigantisme et des foules du British Museum ou de la National Gallery. Beaucoup de tableaux de maîtres français (Boucher, Watteau, Fragonard, Greuze, etc), hollandais, espagnols (Murillo, Velasquez) et bien entendu anglais (Reynolds, Turner, Gainsborough), dans un cadre (relativement) intime. Un peu l'équivalent londonien du musée Jacquemart-André à Paris ou de la fondation Frick à New York. Entrée gratuite.

Très belle collection, l'endroit est peu visité par rapport aux célèbres musées londoniens donc vous y serez sûrement au calme. Entièrement gratuit, courrez y faire un tour !
