More than Meets the Eye, Estorick Collection

An often-overlooked gem in the crown of London’s museum scene, the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art opened its Grade II listed Georgian doors in 1998, exhibiting almost exclusively the work of Futurist painters and sculptors.
Why love the Estorick?
Renowned for its high quality collection, the museum has an equally strong reputation for fusing art and science by exploring the truth behind its works. This forms the bedrock of a thrilling new exhibition in north London.
Exhibition highlights
Conducted by the University of Pisa, the O Opificio delle Pietre Dure in Florence and the Consiglio Nazione delle Ricerche of Florence and Milan, the technical analysis of some key works reveals exciting new findings on the nature of the gallery’s paintings and their varied histories.
With a collection featuring such greats as Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, and Carlo Carrà amongst others, this is one of the capital’s must-visit museums and More than Meets the Eye represents a not-to-be-missed opportunity to see behind the paint.
