The collections in brief

The Courtauld Gallery
One of the most important collections in Britain, including world-famous Old Master, Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings, and an outstanding prints and drawings collection.

The Conway Library
The library contains just over one million images of architecture, architectural drawings, sculpture and manuscripts, from Classical Antiquity to the present either as original photographs or cuttings from journals and catalogues.

The Witt Library
The library is a collection of original photographs and cuttings from published material after paintings, drawings and prints, of western art, covering the period 1200 to the present day. All major artists are represented in depth and one of the strengths of the library is its coverage of lesser-known artists, unparalleled elsewhere.

Photographic Survey
Photographs of paintings, drawings and watercolours, sculpture, architecture and architectural drawings from over five hundred private collections in England, Wales and Ireland.
