The Wallace Collection is an internationally outstanding collection which contains unsurpassed masterpieces of paintings, sculpture, furniture, arms and armour and porcelain.
Built over the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by the Marquesses of Hertford and Sir Richard Wallace, it is one of the finest and most celebrated collections in the world.
So that it could be kept together and enjoyed by generations of visitors, the collection was given to the British Nation in 1897. It was an astonishing bequest and one of the greatest gifts of art works ever to be transferred into public ownership.
One of the hidden gems of London’s many museums and collections, this incredible array of treasures is located in Marylebone, just a short walk or quick taxi ride from us at Euston Square Hotel. We highly recommend a visit during your stay with us, it really is a marvel.
