The Courtauld is doing late openings for its blockbuster Monet show in January

The Courtauld Gallery's exhibition of Monet's paintings of London has a been five-star blockbuster smash, filled with 21 hypnotically beautiful paintings of the Thames. And it has been unsurprisingly popular: tickets have repeatedly sold out as people have flocked to the Strand for a glimpse of these hazy wonders.

So in an attempt to meet visitor demand ahead of the show closing early next year, the Courtauld is doing a series of late night openings for its final week. The gallery will open until 9pm from Jan 13-16 and 18-19. And once these sell out, that's it, it's done, finito, no more tickets. So if you want to lose yourself in the foggy beauty of Monet's fluvial genius, you'd better be quick.
