Thanks for all your comments !!! I am so glad you liked the pictures:-) I remember my reaction when I first walked in:-) ... I still cannot contain it every time I see it:-). I know some are unable to visit in person, and so many other world-class collections, public and private. this is why we have this community and share our passion and knowledge with each other.
I'll take more pictures, and will be happy to snap and send closeups/details of any particular item.... I'll be there again tomorrow:-)

Fantastic! Thank you for sharing. If there are any Chinese/Tibetan/SE Asian items in the collection it would be great to see a few pictures.

Two words: kukris please!
I've always wanted to see the Wallace Collection, but your pictures make me realize just how much I'm missing. Maybe I'll buy a lottery ticket today.
