We went to the National Gallery 03/13/08 and enjoyed every minute of our visit. The Vanity Fair Portraits Exhibition, 1913-2008 was currently going on. It goes from 13 Feb-25 May, 2008 and it is worth seeing. There were great photographs of rock stars, movie stars, royalty, well-known people, that was very interesting. 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

Okay, so I'm an art nerd but I promise that a trip to the National Gallery is well worth it. You'll recognise the works on display and there are guided tours as well as audio guides. The shop is small but nice. Lots of nice books! more

Went to the National Gallery for a couple of hours on a Sunday morning, before heading back to the airport, and what a wonderful way to spend those hours! The staff were well-informed and very friendly, and we found the displays beautifully laid out and with lots of room for everyone. The building itself is a delight and so light... more

Excellent collections, superbly arranged, easy to navigate, good opening times, reasonable entry cost (donation suggested) and the best restaurant ever. The restaurant is a must if you, like me, have always had trouble finding a decent meal in London without mortgaging the house. If you get a chance, order the afternoon tea, the scones are the most wonderful I've ever... more

The National Gallery is a must for any visitor to London - art enthusiast or not. The halls of the National Gallery hold some of the finest (and most recognizable) artistic masterpieces. I visited the gallery on a weekday afternoon and did not find it too crowded. To help my untrained eye I rented the audio guide (provided by voluntary... more

This museum is the best museum I've ever been to, except for the Louvre. The architecture is beautiful, and the artworks are fantanstic. There's no entrance fee...Just donations. The museum is not too small, but not too big, so you can see it all in a couple of hours. And trust me, you will want to see it all because... more
