Somerset House Embankment Galleries, London
Somerset House Embankment Galleries: A cultural hub of visual art, fashion and film
Once a grand Tudor palace, Somerset House has been radically transformed in recent years, becoming notable for its contributions to the visual arts, fashion, music and film. Situated on the Strand overlooking the River Thames, the Embankment Galleries consist of permanent and rotating exhibitions. The Gilbert Collection is thought to be one of the most important art collections ever gifted to the UK, while the Courtauld Collection focuses on Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings, including famous works by Monet, Renoir, Degas and Van Gogh, as well as earlier works by Rubens and Gainsborough. Past exhibitions have included retrospectives on classical artists and studies of particular works. Somerset House also showcases the annual London Fashion Week, while the attractive courtyard sets the scene for summer music festivals and outdoor film screenings. During the winter, meanwhile, you can go ice skating at the outdoor rink. Also nearby are the shops of Covent Garden plus the Royal Opera House as well as St Paul's Cathedral.
