The National Gallery

The National Gallery, which is located in Trafalgar Square in central London, is free to the public 361 days a year. It houses the country's Western European painting collection, which dates from the 13th through the early 20th century.

Van Eyck, Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, Turner, Rembrandt, Degas, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Renoir, Monet, Rubens, Velázquez, Van Dyck, Titian, and Bellini are among the best Western European painters represented in the collection. No other collection is as constant in quality or covers the tale of Western European painting as well as this one. Almost every one of the National Gallery's 2,300 artworks is on permanent exhibit.

The British Government purchased 38 paintings belonging to banker John Julius Angerstein in 1824, and the Gallery was born. The photos were shown in Angerstein's former home in Pall Mall because there was no suitable venue available to showcase the collection. The collection was only brought to its current location in Trafalgar Square in 1838.
