National Portrait Gallery
With a National Art Pass you get
The first public portrait gallery in the world, housing some 11,000 works.
Opened in 1856, with founder trustees including Disraeli and Lord Ellesmere, the collection reflects the law-makers and taste-shapers of British culture, from monarchs to musicians, actors, explorers and authors. Since 1980 the gallery has commissioned works, and it hosts the BP Portrait Prize exhibition every year. While paintings make up the greatest proportion of the collection, there are also photographs, videos and multimedia installations.
