Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Courtauld Gallery
Next Friday sees the reopening of London's Courtauld Gallery after a year-long programme of Lottery-funded restoration. The refurbishment has concentrated on the fine and great rooms in the north wing of Somerset House, arguably some of the finest 18th century interiors in London, and should now provide a fitting showcase for one of the world's greatest collections of Impressionist and Post Impressionist painting. That's not all though. The Courtauld is also home to some less familiar but very fine earlier works and a new Renaissance Gallery should make the most of its Flemish and Italian pictures, as well as allowing the display of a previously unseen collection of Maiolica.
