What it is

Museum tags: Art; Contemporary art; Italy; Modern art

The UKs only gallery devoted to modern Italian art, best known for its Futurist masterpieces and figurative art and sculpture dating from 1890 to the 1950s. Housed in a Grade II listed Georgian villa in Canonbury. As well as its permanent collection it hosts temporary exhibitions of modern and contemporary Italian artists


The word ‘hidden gem’ is bandied around so much, but there’s few places it applies to as strongly as the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art.

I know people who’ve lived in walking distance of the Estorick, and weren’t even aware it was there.

Focused entirely on modern Italian art, the collection and temporary exhibits are wide-ranging and fascinating, tucked away on a lovely Georgian square closed to Islington. A fantastic, medium-sized gallery for anyone interested in art.
