Tues-Fri 10am-5pm, Sat & Sun 11am-5pm; GBP4; free all day Fri; www.dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk. West Dulwich train station, from Victoria. Recently refurbished, Dulwich Picture Gallery , on College Road, is the nation's oldest public art gallery, designed by Sir John Soane and opened in 1817. 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, van Dyck, Canaletto and Rubens. Rembrandt's Portrait of a Young Man is probably the most valuable picture in the gallery, and has been 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.
