What is your favorite museum or gallery in london?

Out of all the Museums and Gallerys in london which one is your favorite and why.

Although I love many of London's museums and galleries, one stands out because it's so extraordinary: the Soane Museum (known properly as Sir John Soane's Museum). It stands facing Lincoln's Inn Fields, in the lawyers' district of Holborn in central London, and is made up of three domestic terraced houses.

Why I've singled it out... ? Oh, I have *such* a soft spot for it...
Because it is one man's life-work.
Because it shows how great collections came about, such as those that formed the hearts of the British Museum, Natural History Museum and the V&A.
Because it is an architectural maze crammed from floor to ceiling with artefacts -- the picture gallery actually has walls that fold back in great panels to allow three times more pictures to be displayed than normal maths would allow.
Because it contains gems at every turn: original drawings by the architect Robert Adam, sketches by Hogarth, paintings by Canaletto, an Egyptian pharaoh's tomb, and so much more.
It's a complete delight to visit. Every time I go, I find something new, not least because the light changes with the passing hours and seasons.
And because they do evening tours by candlelight!

I do hope you're asking this because you're planning a visit to London. If so, have a wonderful time!

British Museum

I love the natural history museum, i could stay in there forever it never gets boring. The Tate is good as well but i prefer the latter.

Science museam,Full of interesting things.

National Gallery, it has Monet's Water Lilies

It has to be the British Museum, so full of stuff, so diverse and always changing to prevent stagnation.

The War Museum its not full of dinosaurs.

I like the Portrait Gallery, even if it is overpriced!

The Tate for really ultramodern

national

Natural history and science museum

The Horniman Museum - down Saarf in Forest Hill. I live practically next door, and the collection is fantastically eclectic.

Without a doub tthe Tate Modern, I never fail to see something new and to be stimulated by the art. There are always fantastic exhibitions ie: frido kahlo. I've been twenty times and still hav'nt seen everything.

Kenwood House, Hampstead Heath. All the pictures are by British artists like Gainsborough etc and the setting of the building in landscaped gardens surrounded by Hampstead Heath, is gorgeous.
