COLNAGHI
About This Museum
Tucked away on Bury Street in the heart of St. James's, Colnaghi isn't your typical gallery. It feels more like stepping into a private club for art lovers, a place that has been at the center of the Old Master world for centuries. The atmosphere is hushed and scholarly, with dark wood and velvet chairs, inviting you to take your time. You'll find exceptional European paintings and drawings here, but the real magic is in the conversation with their incredibly knowledgeable specialists.
Collection Highlights
Look for exquisite Renaissance drawings, Dutch Golden Age portraits that seem to follow you with their eyes, and Baroque paintings full of drama. The gallery is particularly known for its focus on works on paper—delicate sketches and prints that feel incredibly personal.
Visitor Information
It's best to check their website or call ahead for opening hours as they can vary. While it's free to enter, remember this is a commercial gallery; you're surrounded by art that's for sale, which is part of its unique charm.
Architecture & Building
Housed in an elegant Georgian townhouse, it perfectly suits the historic character of the area. Inside, it’s all classic London refinement with high ceilings, ornate moldings, and walls painted in rich, deep colors.
