WE ARE OPEN

Updated 4 October 2021

The Wallace Collection is now open daily from 10.00–17.00. You do not need a ticket for entry to the permanent collection.

Here's what you need to know about visiting us:

• Our current opening hours are 10.00–17.00 daily.
• You can download the free Bloomberg Connects app to access a digital guide to the Collection and to explore selected objects through audio commentary.
• Please be aware that parts of the museum may be closed due to ongoing building works, maintenance and controlling visitor flow. The Billiard Room will remain closed until the completion of the relighting project at the end of February.
• The following works are currently not on view due to their involvement in other projects and exhibitions: Perseus and Andromeda, Titian (1485–1576); A Dance to the Music of Time, Nicolas Poussin (1594–1665) and The Laughing Cavalier, Frans Hals (1582/3–1666).
• We are currently offering short highlights tours of the Great Gallery at 14.30 on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. These are free and will last 30 minutes. Places are strictly limited to ten and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Visitors can reserve their place on these tours at the front entrance.
• We are not currently permitting external guided tours of the museum or large group bookings. However, if you are a school and would like to visit, please contact our Learning team to organise a facilitated visit.

• There is one disabled space available, which can be reserved in advance by contacting our Security team. There are two parking spaces for Blue Badge holders on Manchester Square and others in nearby streets.
• The cloakroom is not open, so do not bring anything you cannot carry with you around the museum, and only small bags or handbags will be permitted.
• Bikes cannot be taken into the museum and no storage is available. However, there are free bicycle racks available outside the museum near the entrance, though bikes are left there at the owner's own risk.
