Also the  Sloan Museum for its wonderful architecture, fascinating
collections, and general eccentric charm and, for a real dose of Victorian
art, I believe the Guildhall museum has reopened and the Wallace Collection
is dazzling for dec. arts and Old Masters; on the outskirsts, Royal
Hollaway College has and interesting collection.

Some suggestions of smaller London museums:
>If you like exotic interiors try Leighton House,
>Kensington with its "Arab Hall" and collection of works by
>Lord Leighton & other Victorians. Ranger's House,
>Blackheath for small but exquisite collection of 17th C
>portraits by Larkin etc. Kenwood House, Hamstead for fine
>assorted Old Master Collection (Rembrandt, Vermeer, etc)
>in Robert Adam building - also fine gardens.
>And of course - central London - near National Gallery -
>I have to mention the larger Courtauld Gallery - very
>important Impressionists (Manet's Bar and Van Gogh's
>missing ear)plus many other old masters. Hope this helps,
