Five Stars For Frans Hals

The Wallace Collection’s Frans Hals exhibition has been picking up glowing five-star reviews, so get your tickets booked for a cultured lunch break. The Observer has called The Male Portrait “astonishing” and “magnificent”, so make the most of having this cultural gem on our doorstep.

Hals’s The Laughing Cavalier is one of the most famous paintings in The Wallace Collection, and this exhibition is the first time it has ever been seen with other works of the artist. The show brings together many of Hals’s characterful male portraits, which revolutionised the form.

The exhibition runs until 30 January and you can pre-book tickets, which cost £14 for adults or £10 for concessions, on the Wallace Collection website.
