Fire at London’s Somerset House Brought Under Control, Artworks Safe

A fire that broke out at London’s historic Somerset House on Saturday was brought under control by firefighters, with no damage to priceless artworks housed within, including paintings by Van Gogh and Monet. The blaze, which started in the roof space, posed challenges for firefighters due to the building’s age and design. The Courtauld Gallery, home to renowned works like Van Gogh’s ‘Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear’, was unaffected and remains open. Somerset House itself will be closed until further notice.
