Conçue par Sir John Soane en 1811, la Dulwich Picture Gallery a conservé son atmosphère intime et paisible. La collection, réduite mais exceptionnelle, réunit Rembrandt, Rubens, Poussin, Gainsborough et Canaletto dans des salles pensées sur mesure, éclairées par une lumière zénithale naturelle qui a influencé la conception des musées dans le monde entier. Voilà une belle occasion de s'aventurer au sud de la Tamise, d'autant que le charmant village de Dulwich mérite le détour. Les expositions temporaires y sont toujours d'une grande qualité.
