Notes for Editors
The Wallace Collection is both a national museum and one of the finest collections of art assembled by one family. It was bequeathed to the nation by Lady Wallace in 1897, and opened to the public just over three years later on 22 June 1900. Among its treasures are one of the best collections of French 18th century pictures, porcelain and furniture in the world, a remarkable array of 17th century paintings and an armoury.
Trustees are not remunerated, and are appointed by the Prime Minister on the advice of Department for Culture, Media and Sport Ministers.
