Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art

Tucked away in a Georgian house in Islington, you'll discover the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art. There's no question that this place is a bit niche, specialising in 20th century Italian art, focusing in particular on the Futurist movement. It houses a permanent collection of works by some of the most notable names of the day, as well as a frequently-changing programme of avant garde exhibitions.

The gallery was established in 1994 to house the extensive private collection of American sociologist Eric Estorick. There are three floors of art to discover at this intimate space. The ground floor galleries show temporary exhibitions exploring various aspects of modernist art. On the upper floors you can see highlights from the gallery's collection, including painting, drawing, and sculpture.

Complete a visit to Estorick Collection at the shop and café. In the shop you can buy books and gifts to accompany the temporary shows and permanent collection. There's an authentic Italian café on-site, with both indoor seating and outdoor spaces in the attractive garden. The café menu is seasonal, with options like pasta, sandwiches, cakes, and hot and cold drinks. The gallery also holds regular creative events and workshops, with options for adults, kids, and families. For anyone who is a fan of modern art and art history, Estorick Collection is a place you don't want to miss. It's a peaceful gallery for getting up close with one of the 20th century's most important art movements.
