In general, in order to contain numbers, timed tickets are required for all visitors - which need to be booked in advance - hence details of how to contact in listings below
THE FOLLOWING REOPENED IN LONDON AFTER LOCKDOWN ON 17TH MAY 2021.
Below is a reminder of art galleries and museums in London.
This is by no means an exhaustive list - but hopefully might remind people of a few places which need their support - and a visit!
Later this week I'll be looking at the Art Fund's Summary Report of "Looking ahead: Museum Sector Research May 2021 Summary Report.
