The Art Newspaper has reported on news that the Courtauld Institute of Art has received a £10m donation from the Ukrainian magnate Leonard Blavatnik. The donation will go towards the refurbishment of the institute's Great Room in Somerset House which is currently undergoing an extensive refurbishment. This newly decorated space will house Samuel Courtauld's famous collection of Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist masterpieces (the image above is an architect's rendering).
The refurbished galleries should reopen later in 2021.
