In London , there is no shortage of art and art galleries. The Wallace Collection is another very fine art gallery that art lovers should not fail to visit. The Wallace Collection is housed in the original family home of Sir Richard Wallace, who bequeathed his entire private collection of artwork to the UK upon his death. The Wallace Collection is one of the finest collections amassed by one family.
Visitors to the gallery can see a rich collection of European old master paintings, the most prominent example being the Laughing Cavalier (more correctly referred to as Portrait of a Young Man) by the Dutch baroque painter Frans Hals. There is also a porcelain gallery, an Oriental and European armor collection, 18 th century French furniture, miniatures, sculpture, and many other various art objects.
