I really enjoyed this art museum as there are so many different works of art from a wide variety of time periods to suit everyone's taste. Many of the works displayed are simply breathtaking and I especially enjoyed the landscapes and portraits. One interesting feature that makes this museum stand out is that they also display unfinished works as well.... more

Really nice museum and the best part- it´s free ( because London is sooo expensive ). We went on a Wednesday because normally they close at 6 but on this day they close at nine. There are less people and you can see the square at night. Well worth the time- just wander around or check out your favourite painters.... more

Located in the very heart of central London, this is one landmark that should not simply reside on your “rainy day” list. My favorite museum in the world, the National Gallery is easy to find, completely free and easy to navigate for those who wish to spend an hour touring the highlights or the more dedicated who wish to spend... more

The National Gallery in Trafalgar Square is the high point of any visit to London. If art interests you and you want to see major masterpieces then this gallery is perfect for you.

The other portraits were great too. We saw... more

The National Gallery is one of my favorite places in London. It can however be a bit overwhelming because there is a lot of fantastic art to see. I am an art lover myself and I have spent many afternoons admiring their Raphael's and Botticellis, but I had the advantage of being introduced to the work slowly and over several... more

The National Gallery happens to be my favourite museum. It's a wonderful place to visit on a trip to London. However I must say, you probably won't get through all of it in one afternoon as the place is quite overwhelming. It's hard to decide which room to go to next. I am delighted to say that it will keep... more

Hard to believe that in 1941, the museum pieces were moved to the Manod Quarry, a slate mine in the mountains above the village of Ffestiniog, to protect the collection from the Germans. A great effort that was well worth it. Housed in a magestic buiding in front of Trafalgar Square, The National Gallery of London hose an exceptional collection... more
