Dulwich Picture Gallery

A small art gallery but it is a lovely place to visit. I've been here a few times and it's always a nice experience. In the summer months they have outside events in the evenings, on some days. I highly recommend going here, you won't be disappointed. Welcoming staff and some strangers will smile at you. There's a small gift shop and a pleasant cafe. I've attended on my own and with family. Very child friendly.

Hi, this special place - the first public, purpose built art gallery in the world - always has niche shows most suited to it's unique 'visiting show' exhibition rooms. Current show is no exception a multi-talented artist working geographically far away from the mainstream, yet her work impacted globally. Amazing, surprising and delightful.

Its the oldest, and they have a reasonable collection....erm......but that's really abut it to be honest. The price is a little high. However the sting in the tail. When we went half the gallery was closed for a special exhibition that you needed to pay for. So lets get this straight, to get to the exhibition for which you have to pay extra for you have to pay to get into the building first, which is half closed but not half price. If you have no interest in the permanent exhibition, but you want to see the special exhibition, you still have to pay twice. However if you only want to see the permanent exhibition, half of it is missing ....because of the special exhibition...which you have to pay extra for...hmmmm. ALL the other galleries in London....which by the way have a much better collection, are free....go to them....if you want to see a special exhibition there, you pay separately. This makes sense...paying twice doesn't, and neither does paying full price for half a deal. Shabby, wont be returning, wont be recommending.

This small but important historic gallery designed by the redoubtable John Soane stages frequent exhibitions. The permanent collection includes works by Rembrandt and Watteau. The modern cafe set in a pleasant garden draws an equally large if not more enthusiastic crowd. Certainly adds up to a worthwhile outing.
