Wallace Collection

 

About Wallace Collection

A grand mansion in the heart of London that's now an art gallery and in part, a museum of military armour and weapons.

It exists thanks to a bequest which gifted it to the nation, on condition that none of the objects leave -- so the art gallery houses some incredibly famous paintings which can only ever be seen here.

The military armour display is a bit odd in this setting, but interesting in its own right.
