Continuing their traditional and long-held ties to the museum world, the gallery has recently placed works of art with numerous institutions including the Mauritshuis (The Hague), the Art Institute of Chicago, the Louvre (Paris), the Metropolitan Museum (New York) and the Fitzwilliam Museum (Cambridge).

In 2017 Jorge and Nicolas Cortés established the Colnaghi Foundation, a charity established to promote historic art to a 21st century audience. The Colnaghi Foundation brings together the private and public sectors, including scholars, institutions and collectors, reflecting their symbiotic relationship in this category of art, and the founders’ aspiration to excite the next generation.
