About

The National Gallery, in the centre of London, houses one of the world’s greatest collections of paintings. It tells the story of European art, masterpiece by masterpiece. These pictures belong to the public and entrance to see them is free.

There are over 2,300 paintings including many famous works, such as van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, Velázquez’s Rokeby Venus, Turner’s Fighting Temeraire and Van Gogh’s Sunflowers. All major traditions of Western European painting are represented in the collection.

Alongside the magnificent collection, there’s also a world-class programme of exhibitions to enjoy. From ticketed blockbuster shows in the Spring and Autumn, to year-round free exhibitions, there are plenty of ways to make a visit to the National Gallery even more memorable.
