Dulwich Picture Gallery, London

Dulwich Picture Gallery is an art gallery in Dulwich which was designed by Regency architect Sir John Soane and was England's first purpose-built public art gallery opened to the public in 1817.

Soane arranged the exhibition spaces as a series of interlinked rooms illuminated naturally through skylights – a concept that had an enduring influence on art gallery design. The gallery houses one of the country’s finest collections of Old Masters mostly of the 17th and 18th centuries, especially rich in French, Italian and Spanish Baroque paintings and in British portraits from Tudor times to the 19th century. The Gallery is a registered charity.

It also hosts significant temporary exhibitions. Recent examples include Canaletto in England, Paul Nash:The Elements, Norman Rockwell's America and Twombly-Poussin: Arcadian Painters.

Dulwich Picture Gallery is famous for its innovative Education programme, particularly for its Community Outreach programmes including Urban Youth and Good Times: Art for Older People.
