Our permanent collection
Dulwich Picture Gallery houses one of the world's most important
collections of European old master paintings of the 1600s and
1700s.
The collection is also one of the oldest in Great Britain,
substantially put together in the years 1790 to 1795. The paintings
are housed in the first purpose-built art gallery in England,
designed by Sir John Soane in 1811.
Free Gallery guided tours of the permanent collection take
place at 3.00pm each Saturday and Sunday. Please
purchase your Gallery ticket and wait next to the Friends Desk in
the main enfilade.
