Just a great gallery with a wide range of paintings from many different time periods. Especially loved seeing some Rembrandt pieces. Spent a good part of two days here and there's still more to see. But I am a bit of an art nerd who spends a lot of time looking at each piece.
Outstanding collection of period art. We'll laid out and easy to navigate through this impressive collection. Admission is free but a 5 pound donation is recommended.
Lots of very famous and special art pieces of talented artists
Some of the most monumental paintings in our world by artists like Monet or Van Gogh are portrayed here
The museum itself is equally beautiful having very high ceilings and just a very elegant style
A highlight for me is the room in which paintings of artists are portrayed over a limited time, during both of my two visits I was impressed with these artworks, one of them being the picture attached to this review
In summary this museum is a definite place to visit when in London if you're interested in art
Probably my favorite art gallery. The collection is staggering in range and value. There's a lot of famous paintings there, including many renaissance artists and impressionists. The collection is so big, I'd recommend researching before your visit so you can plan what you want to see. Photography is allowed but as usual, no flashes or tripods.
One of the best places to visit in London, highly recommend getting the audio guide it makes all the difference. Can get busy so early visit is best, opens 10am.
Some amazing works of art on display. It can be a bit overwhelming on a single visit. To get the most out of the gallery I recommend several visits of a couple of hours at a time. I highly recommend a visit to all.
The National Gallery is one of my favourite spaces. Standing in front of these artworks transports and opens up my thoughts on time and on perspective of all kinds. So much beauty, thought, skill and history. A place to witness changes (and not changes) over the passage of time.
A wonderful and huge art gallery with fantastic art to be seen
God do I love this one. It's massive, it's quiet, it's big and bright and some of my favourite pieces are in there. I come back to the Gallery every time I visit Londen!
Great world class art museum. In the US, this would cost $40 per person to enter but England makes it free! If you're here on vacation, this is a must see.
If you go during the week, you'll be treated to an invaluable piece of history without the massive crowds. Although technically 'free', I emplore anyone to chuck them a bit of cash if you can, it's worth it.
The perfect place when it's too cold or raining in London
An amazing collection of art through the ages. In an amazing building.
It's amazing what we have in the heart of London, for free!! Were you into painting, drawing or not, there is so much to learn from a visit to the National Gallery. Take a year, a painter, an era, explore each room and admire different techniques used by amazing artists from around the world at different periods of time. Recommended for families with youngsters who are into the arts.
Huge. Requires lot of time to explore the gallery completely.
Brilliant service, always helpful especially Ian.
Great stuff for everyone s taste.
Beautiful place to visit especially if the weather is poor
A day is not enough to truly take in all the masterpieces on display here. And many a day after won't be enough to appreciate and process the fact that you've witnessed a real Rembrandt or Van Gogh. That's how I feel, at least. Remarkable collection and a mesmerising experience. Take your time when visiting and let all the beauty and talent sink in and inspire you.
Very good particularly the Leonardo exhibit. Shame it was the final day, keep up the good work.
I loved it ,it's actually amazing! It's a free gallery like many public cultural places in London. Their collection is outstanding and it's well organized. There are artworks of Paul Rubens and Caravaggio and of many more original and wonderful artists. The gallery has also got a small restaurant with reasonable prices and tasty snacks for everyone. I saw people go there not only to relax or eat but also to work as it has a very relaxing atmosphere. The bathrooms are clean and the gift shops also have interesting things and some on sale too for those on a budget.
Amazing. Spent a few hours there. Fantastic collection of breathtaking artwork. Staff very helpful and knowledgable. Check out the website which details and explains the must see artworks (30 in total) great refreshment facilities and toilets
Interesting place for art lovers. The gallery is a maze. You need to keep. Track which hall you are seeing else you'll keep coming back to it
Can spend hours in there. Great for first time visiters to London or even residents
Very big nice gallery. Easy to get lost in, but signs help you out. I highly recommend a visit.
Jumped in on a tour of the galleries and learned so much more about the stories behind the paintings! Also a gallery assistant told me all about the construction of the building.
Great galleries and good value exhibitions. Plenty of space even with lots of tourists.
My favorite free- entry museum in London...every time I visited London I always made sure I have some time spent here with painting... i didn t necessarily understand them... but as a normal human being I love how paintings telling stories through one frame after another.... as one windows aft another and through which we gaze into other worlds, in the eyes of the artists.
Beautiful paintings from 1500 BC. Heaven for Art lovers, if possible hire a guide who helps understand every intricate details of the painting. Historical background of the pictures... To top it all it is free for visitors.
For free and an opportunity to appreciate fine art produced by renowned artists
If you love arts, you can spend whole day there to enjoying the painting.
The experience was good and it was nice to look at old christian art but it wasn't as good as the british museum
Absolutely breathtaking! Can't believe it took me so long to go there but I finally did recently and it's been beautiful. There's some magic about the art in the gallery, an art lover could literally spend hours there without even looking at the time. Gorgeous artwork.
Art is as it always has been a very personal experience. There is a wide variety of styles on display meaning the there should be something that appeals to everyone. The layout is very free flowing, making the experience all the more pleasant
Free entry, but please leave a donation. So many great works of art, leave a long time for your visit .
If you are visiting London you need to schedule a visit to the National Gallery in your agenda. You could spend here many hours and come out with a wonderful feeling of satisfaction. This also a good cafe although it is not cheap.
Wonderful, you must see it, stroll down its corridors and halls again and again... if you want to prolonge your stay, think about the night opening on friday
wow! get the audio guide and make a donation! I can not believe it's free entry!
Great cafe some of amazing pantings i have ever seen
Mmmm, not our thing I'm afraid. I'm sure it will please the religious art fans
Overall great place to look at art especially if you're an artist, I would recommend everyone to look at the smaller paintings, because they are overlooked for the bigger ones. One of the small paintings that I love is the painting of Queen Victoria's Charles Spaniel is one of the most beautiful paintings I have seen.
Wouldn't recommend going on a date with someone to the gallery unless they like looking at art, and I do recommend you discuss about the paintings as you move along the gallery, as it will be a magical experience , because you get to engage with your surroundings along with your partner.
Breathtaking art in glorious condition. Colours so vibrant, detail unsurpassed.
Amazing to be able to get up so close to enjoy and marvel at the detail and patience exhibited by the artists.
Well worth a visit, but try to get there when it is quiet.
One of the best museums anywhere. Only issue is the crowds
Fantastic collection of pictures. A great few days could be spent here but unless you are a student if art it is easy to get overwhelmed. Worth thinking about what you particularly want to see to be able to plan visit. Set out by periods, 20-40 years in general but specific artists have own areas.
Special exhibitions can get very crowded, especially in the Sainsbury wing. Worth looking for not such popular times e.g. 16:00 on a Tuesday.
So many great paintings! There are many iconic paintings. Well worth a visit.
Attended a children's event. Very good! Lots of fun!
You know what separates us from the beasts? Culture. And it doesn't come more cultural than this. The place is a national treasure. Can't recommend it highly enough.
It's free! If you love art you could spend all day here. The gallery itself is beautiful. A must see in London.
The national gallery has an amazing collection of famous classic, romantic and impressionist painters. I am not an expert in art but I really like the museum and staff are really helpful if you have any questions. I would recomend the museum for a rainy day in London. It is also a place not to miss for a one time visit to London.
Free admission so I did not expect too much but... it turned out that inside I saw many great works of art!
Best free show in London but your should donate a few pounds.
Definitely worth a visit.
The exhibition is world-class, you can see works of famous artists like Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Rubens, da Vinci and many more famous works.
Entrance is completely free and Gallery is positioned right in the middle of popular part of London, not vlpaying a visit would be a real shame.
As you get the chance to compare all the world famous art pieces.
