Venue Description

The Estorick Collection is housed in a Grade II listed Georgian building in the heart of the Canonbury. We are a small museum and strive to give as many people as possible the opportunity to see our temporary exhibitions and permanent collection of twentieth-century Italian art. The Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art opened in London in 1998. Its home, a Grade II listed Georgian building, contains six galleries, an art library, café and bookshop. The collection is known internationally for its core of futurist works, as well as figurative art and sculpture dating from 1890 to the 1950s.
