The Courtlauld Institute was established in 1931 by the textile magnate Samuel Courtauld. A descendant of Samuel Courtauld the founder of the silk manufacturing company Courtlauds Ltd in 1816 he was a patron of art and music. He built the Courtauld Institute of Art in Portman Square and donated his collection of impressionist and Post Impressionist paintings to the London University. Donations since to the collection have made it more a collection representative of post-Renaissance European art - works by Botticelli, Brueghel, Bellinai, Rubens and Tiepolo. The gallery also has a fine collection of 20th century British art. The move to Somerset House in 1990 was to cost an estimated 3 million pounds which then rose to 10. The University of London contributed 4 million pounds, and the Government considerably less, the greatest share coming from the public appeal with raised 5 million pounds. The property had to be underpinned when it was found there were no foundations, the floors strengthened with tons of steel, and lighting, smoke controls and humidity regulators all installed to protect the collection. Previously in Woburn Square only 35 per cent of the Collection has been displayed, this will rise to 80 per cent at Somerset House.The collection attracts 90,000 visitors a year.
