Wallace Collection

ArtHistoryClosed · Opens 10amFreeBond Street

Die Wallace Collection ist einer der bestgehüteten Geheimtipps Londons – ein palastartiges Stadtpalais am Manchester Square, das eine außergewöhnliche Privatsammlung französischer Kunst des 18. Jahrhunderts, Gemälde Alter Meister (Tizian, Rembrandt, Velázquez), mittelalterliche Rüstungen und Sèvres-Porzellan beherbergt. Der Laughing Cavalier von Frans Hals ist das Glanzstück, doch die prunkvollen Räume selbst stehen dem in nichts nach. Das Restaurant im glasüberdachten Innenhof ist ein Genuss. Man fühlt sich wie zu Gast im Haus eines wohlhabenden Sammlers – und genau das war es einmal.
