Housing more than 2,300 works, most of which are on permanent view, the National Gallery is one of the greatest assemblies of Western European art in the world.
With paintings dating from the 13th to the 20th centuries, all the major genres, styles and movements are represented.
Founded in 1824, the nucleus of the National Gallery's holdings was not a royal collection, as in the case of the Louvre or the Prado, but the British government's acquisition of 38 paintings from the estate of the wealthy financier John Julius Angerstein.
Look out for The Wild Escape at museums and galleries in the next few months. Many have special events, or you can use our audio introduction to help children get involved at any cultural venue.
Visiting with children?
Use our audio introduction to inspire a visit to any museum, gallery or historic house local to you. Then, just send us your child’s animal artwork when it's finished and we'll add it to the epic collective artwork that launches on Earth Day 2023.
The more you see, the more we do.
The National Art Pass lets you enjoy free entry to hundreds of museums, galleries and historic places across the UK, while raising money to support them.
