I love beautiful things! I love 18th century porcelain, portraits, and furniture and have a lovely collection myself. But my “heaven” in London is the WALLACE COLLECTION on Manchester Square. Of all the museums and collections in London, the Wallace Collection is #1 for me. The house is a profusion of the finest 18th century decorative arts. This massive collection started at the time of the Prince Regent/King George IV whose collecting ended up in the Royal Collection. The Wallace Collection is not as vast as the Royal Collection, but the 18th century decorative French arts are of equal quality. Anyone with these tastes must not come to London without including the Wallace Collection in the itinerary. Here are a few images:
