London’s Courtauld Gallery has completed work on a modernization project that has been underway since 2018.
Today, June 9, the gallery revealed images of its revamped interiors at Somerset House ahead of its reopening in November.
Architects Witherford Watson Mann have designed the redevelopment of the building originally completed by Sir William Chambers in the 1770s. The ambitious overhaul plan includes a renovation of the institution’s existing exhibition spaces, two new galleries to house temporary exhibitions, and improved accessibility.
The project is supported with £11 million ($15.5 million) in public funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, as well as significant private funding, including a £10 million ($14.1 million) gift from the Ukraine-born British-American philanthropist Leonard Blavatnik.

Roberto Cicutto, President of La Biennale di Venezia and Cecilia Alemani appointed as the Artistic Director of the Visual Arts Department by the Board of Directors on January 10, 2020 have announced the title and theme of the Biennale Arte 2022 in the Giardini, at the Arsenale, and at various sites around Venice.
The 59th International Art Exhibition will be titled The Milk of Dreams. This name is borrowed from a book by Leonora Carrington, in which, as Cecilia Alemani says, “the Surrealist artist describes a magical world where life is constantly re-envisioned through the prism of the imagination, and where everyone can change, be transformed, become something and someone else. The exhibition takes us on an imaginary journey through metamorphoses of the body and definitions of humanity.”
