UCL Art Museum

UCL has an extraordinary collection of Old Master prints and drawings by the likes of Dürer, Rembrandt, Turner and Constable not to mention graduation works by students of the Slade School (on the same campus) some of whom became celebrated artists such as Paula Rego and Jenny Saville. In fact over 40% of works in the collection are by women artists. Apart from sculptures by the 19th century bro-classical artist John Flaxman which have their own space, the only place for these works to be viewed is the UCL Art Museum a small room with an even smaller balcony. On display today apart from some Flaxman reliefs for gravestones the second part of an exhibition of sculptures by Slade Professor Edward Allington (1951-2017) demonstrating his interest in all things kitsch such as motorbike parts, toy dinosaurs and plastic grasshoppers.

The Flaxman Gallery at University College London is a small space, clearly the work space of the exhibition hall, with special exhibitions of the work of early Slade students, many of them women, and small historical works on the walls.

The City University of London Art Museum, with a high level, has a world-class university art department, and a wide range of museum collections.
