Located in Manchester Square, The Wallace Collection is best known for its masterpieces of painting, sculpture, furniture, arms and armour, and porcelain. Collected by the first four Marquesses of Hertford and Sir Richard between 1760 and 1880, the permanent collection contains works from several Dutch Masters, including Hals famous Laughing Cavalier, artists such as Titian and Velazquez, alongside a collection of 18th century French paintings, furniture, armour, ceramics, sculptures and miniatures.
