🇬🇧London
33 museums · 20 exhibitions on now · 8 coming soon
London is one of the world's great art capitals. Few cities cover as much ground: old master paintings at the National Gallery, decorative arts and design at the V&A, world antiquities at the British Museum, and contemporary work at Tate Modern, all within a few miles of each other. As with most major public museums in London, permanent collections are free to enter.
