Die Dulwich Picture Gallery wurde 1811 von Sir John Soane entworfen und wirkt bis heute intim und entschleunigt. Die Sammlung ist klein, aber vom Feinsten – Rembrandt, Rubens, Poussin, Gainsborough und Canaletto in eigens geschaffenen Räumen mit natürlichem Oberlicht, das die Museumsarchitektur weltweit geprägt hat. Ein wunderbarer Grund, sich südlich der Themse zu wagen, und das umliegende Dulwich Village ist ganz bezaubernd. Die Wechselausstellungen sind durchweg klug kuratiert.
