Estorick Collection

The Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art, situated in the picturesque Canonbury Square, encapsulates a compelling blend of art and ambiance within its beautifully restored Georgian townhouse. An unassuming gem for anyone captivated by Italian Futurism, the gallery boasts an internationally significant permanent collection featuring notable artists such as Giacomo Balla, Carlo Carrà, and Umberto Boccioni across its three floors. Adjacent to the exquisite art displays, a dedicated bookshop enriches visitors’ experiences with an array of 20th-century art and literature publications. The recently featured Sergio Strizzi exhibition offered a beguiling glimpse into the captivating world of film set photography. Complementing the visual feast, the on-site café appeals to culinary senses with Italian-style fare, including lasagne and torta della nonna, served in both an indoor and courtyard setting under the shade of trees. A harmonious balance between cultural immersion and indulgence, the Estorick Collection remains a sanctuary for lovers of modern Italian artistic heritage.
