The Camden Town Nudes was extremely busy and encouraged 84 new friends
to join. The Courtauld now has almost 600 Friends, double the number of
just two years ago. To become a Friend costs just £50 (£40
for Courtauld alumni) and offers unlimited access to The Courtauld Gallery
and exhibition programme as well as a special programme of events and discounts
in the Gallery Café and shop.
