Soane created a beautifully spacious building, awash with natural light and crammed with superb paintings - elegiac landscapes by Cuyp, one of the world's finest Poussin series, and splendid works by Hogarth, Gainsborough, an Dyck, Canaletto and Rubens. Rembrandt's Portrait of a Young Man is probably the most valuable picture in the gallery, and has beven stolen no fewer than four times.

At the centre of the museum is a tiny mausoleum designed by Soane for the sarcophagi of the gallery's founders.

Tues-Fri 10am-5pm, Sat & Sun 11am-5pm; £4; free all day Fri; www.dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk. West Dulwich train station, from ictoria.
