The Courtauld Gallery Refurbished - Professor Deborah Swallow

The Courtauld Gallery reopened in November 2021 following the most significant modernisation project in its history, providing a transformed home for one of the UK’s greatest art collections.
Visitors now can see masterpieces from The Courtauld’s collection ranging from the Middle Ages to the 20th century, completely redisplayed and reinterpreted across elegantly refurbished galleries, revealing the quality and range of the collection like never before.
New spaces have been created for temporary exhibitions and for projects which highlight the institution’s research-led educational mission.
The redevelopment revitalises and opens up the building conceived by Sir William Chambers in the 1770s to create an inspiring setting for the 21st Century.
Deborah Swallow has been Märit Rausing Director of the Courtauld Institute of Art, London since 2004.
Introduction music: first movement of Symphony no1 in b-flat major (1756) by William Boyce. Boyce died in 1779 - the year the Royal Academy moved into Somerset House as Chambers' work was being completed.

It has been a few years since my last visit. Very eager to see all the wonderful changes.
