Such a large collection of European art from 1200s to early 1900s, it can be overwhelming - masterpieces of each major tradition. And as with other London museums, free admission. You are allowed to be up close and yet they arrange the large pieces so you can view from the proper distances (sometimes as far as 15 meters).
