The Wallace Collection • Founded: 1897

A stunning national museum housed in a historic townhouse near Marylebone, showcasing an extraordinary array of fine and decorative arts. Its galleries are filled with 18th-century French paintings, intricate armor, sculpture, and elegant furniture — all once part of a private aristocratic collection.

People visit for its intimate, elegant atmosphere (it feels more like exploring a grand home than a museum), the world-class art including works by Fragonard, Boucher, and Titian, and the beautiful courtyard café that makes it a perfect cultural escape in central London.
