The Museum is one of the finest former private residences in London and first opened its doors as a National Museum in 1900. Home to unsurpassed displays of French 18th-century painting, furniture and porcelain, as well as iconic Old Master paintings and a world class armoury, Hertford House has been a spectacular venue for entertaining for over 100 years.

The grand surroundings of the 25 galleries and the contrasting contemporary glazed Courtyard make the Wallace Collection the perfect setting for corporate entertaining, location hire for film and photoshoots, product launches, fashion shows and private celebrations.

Filming & Location Hire

The Wallace Collection is pleased to be able to welcome film & photography crews for shoots. Following the move into national lockdown, the Museum has closed temporarily to the public. Although a difficult time for all our teams and visitors, the closure provides greater flexibility for filming and more opportunities for daytime shoots.

With ornate gallery spaces, a grand staircase and contrasting contemporary glazed courtyard, there are numerous filming opportunities available at the Wallace Collection. The exterior of the building provides a sweeping driveway and impressive London town house façade whilst the interior houses an unparalleled collection of artworks and original eighteenth –century architectural features.

Breakfast Meetings

With its distinguished address and nearby international transport hubs, the naturally lit Courtyard and recently refurbished Lecture Theatre offer a striking and professional setting for early morning meetings. The spaces available before the Museum opens to the public are ideal for networking breakfasts, presentations, film screenings and Q&A sessions.

Daytime Meetings

The Meeting Room offers a space in the heart of the house which is perfect for presentations, away days and boardroom style meetings for up to 20 delegates.

The Events Team provide a professionally managed event which always leaves a lasting impression. All money generated by hire of the Wallace Collection goes towards its conservation and care and to the development of the ongoing education, events and exhibitions programmes.
