National Gallery in London, Inner London, United Kingdom | Gallery

Welcome to The National Gallery, London, United Kingdom. The National Gallery houses one of the greatest collections of Western European paintings in the world. These pictures belong to the public and entrance to see them is free. The National Gallery's permanent collection consists of Western European paintings dating from about 1250 onwards. The site occupied by the National Gallery, between the north side of Trafalgar Square and Orange Street, has had a history of successive developments.

These have been largely prompted by the continuous growth of the collection and more recently by the growing demand for ancillary spaces due to changing visitor needs and expectations.

The National Gallery is widely recognised as a building of immense importance, confirmed by its Grade 1 status, and the existing building is the cumulative effort of many generations of architects.

The principal significance of the interiors lies in their overall layout and architectural quality at the main Gallery level. The National Gallery, London is open daily from 10am to 6pm and on Wednesdays from 10am to 9pm.
