Great little museum in the Duke of Wellington's home. Contains a great art collection. Ticket can be combinded with a ticket to the museum inside Wellington Arch, just across the street.
The Duke of Wellington’s home was known popularly as Number One, London, because after entering London through the old Knightsbridge toll-gate it was the first house you passed.
Worth visiting at least for the astonishing collection of art: paintings by Correggio, Velázquez, Rubens, Van Dyck, and, of course, the enormous (3.45 m) nude statue of Napoleon by Antonio Canova.
Great museum in The Duke of Wellington's home, part of English Heritage and so better to subscribe for £5 a month than buy a ticket. Free audio guide available, no photo's allowed.
No photography allowed inside the house. Plenty of nice portraits including many of Napoleon. Former home of 1st Duke of Wellington. Reminds you of the Napoleonic Wars and gifts given to Wellington.
