Amazing place one of my favourite when in London. Wandering around so many priceless pieces of history & being able to marvel at the tiniest of detail such as the hare on the line on Turners Rain, Train & Speed painting easy to miss if you don't know it is there.
An absolute National treasure which every art lover should visit.
Absolutely amazing place. Free of charge as well. One of the best collections in the world!
Great! Free, without queues and full of amazing art. The room with Van Gogh, Degas and Cezanne is the top
Great place to see some amazing art. Worth wading through the crowds. Layout was confusing for me, but it's also because they had run out of maps that day. Still recommend you visit here when in London! You get Picasso, Monet, Van Gogh, and many others!
Always amazed every time I visit. One day, hopefully, I'll actually learn to find my way around the gallery. I'm one of those reluctant to use one of the guides they provide.
Gallery has a lot of interesting exhibits, if you have luggage, bags or coats you don t wanna carry around - 2 per piece for storage!
Amazing.. amazing and fantastic. .
Free to go in.
So we'll. Laid out.
Helpful staff.
The paintings are truly the best...
Highly recommend. .. 5 stars...
Liked this more than I thought I would we worth a visit.
Great place to visit but it's like a maze! Hope you can find your way around, make sure you use the map.
Interesting. Excellent exhibitions. Crucial information on war history. Thought provoking.
No I didn't visit it. Too complex to review. From 3 to 5 stars eg go for the astonishing Richard 11triptych.
A must see London venue. Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful exposition and really enjoyable place
It's the national gallery... enough said. Acres of good to great art.
Beautiful architecture and beautiful paintings. The staff is helpful. I recommend looking at the paintings "Sunflowers", "Whistlejacket", and "The Arnolfini Portrait". It's so nice that admission is free.
Something for the bucket list. Free entry for exceptional art in a beautiful historical building.
Amazing variety of excellent artwork from a wide range of styles and eras. There's a massive collection from the medieval and Victorian centuries.
Really quite good! One of the free to enter museums and galleries in London that never feels too crowded. Located just off Trafalgar Square, it contains multiple famous artworks including Van Goghs Sunflowers, The Fighting Temeraire, The execution of lady Jane Grey and so many others. A wing devoted to the English landscape artists of Gainsborough etc is also good.
The National Gallery is definitely one of the top 10 things to visit in London. Easy to reach on Trafalgar Square, near Covent Garden. Don't miss the Waterlily pond (Monet), The Rokeby Venus, The WhistleJacket, The Sunflowers, The Ambassadors (Holbein), Bathers at Asnieres, and a Wheatfield with cypresses.to name just a few..... Plan for at least four hours ...
unique experience, see the original paintings of artists living hundreds of years ago
Yesterday we tried to attend to Leonardo exposition, unfortunately 1st day was only for members, such a pitty.
The monet exhibition on at the moment is great, highly recommended
Lunch draw was really great activity. Learned so much about the artist and the work. Got a chance to represent it!
Takes some time to go through, but it's free and has some fantastic exhibits
Unique art from around the world is displayed. Good place to visit.
Wonderful national institution..worth taking out a yearly membership, better still a joint one for a little more. Otherwise, as with any museum, the visiting exhibitions can be expensive..never worked that one out, but corporate/lender greed must come into it.
I can return time and again to see the permanent exhibitions..the masterpieces by the giants of the past never cease to inspire!
One of the world's great museums. What more can be said?
The paintings in the National Gallery are not to be missed. Spend at least half a day to see some of them. A MUST SEE in London.
Amazing museum and admission is FREE.
If you have time in central London, just step in and walk around. You will love it.
A gigantic and incredible collection of paintings. It Will make you tremble with joy.
Just fabulous. An extensive collection of some of the most influential art in the world. What's even better entry is free (donation).
The National Gallery was beautiful with magnificent photos by famous artists such as Vincent Van Gogh, Monet, etc. The best part about it is that its FREE! However, there are no photos allowed and the employees will yell at you if you try. But te outside of it is beautiful and you can take pictures of that!
A fantastic gallery to see some of the best known pictures in the world up close
There are a lot of paintings here. However u might lost your way out once u r inside
A beautiful gallery, right on Trafalgar Square. There are all kinds of art and sculpture, covering most tastes in art. The building itself is beautiful. And the shop is very good too!
Wonderful pictures.
Presentation could be better.
Great place to spend a day or an afternoon. A huge variety of paintings from some of the world's best artists. Great vibe and has sufficient seats for resting. Free entry but donations are recommended - it's great for education and inspiration!
Amazing!!
Many masterpiece here, especially deserve to spend a whole day here
And it is free entry, just like British museum.
Always an incredible experience. The sheer scale of artworks on display to the public is amazing. A great feeling when you see these historical masterpieces in such an amazing setting.
Classical art gallery in the centre of London, Trafalgar Square. Free and huge collection of masterpieces, mostly classical art, but there are also famous paintings by Van Gogh and others. Recommended. There is also nicely decorated cafe inside. But the gallery is huge and one needs a lot of time to see most of it. There is nice restaurant inside. Great location.
So much to see, be prepared for a couple of hours to get everything in. The paintings are exquisite spanning several centuries.
Thank you for preparing 30 must see paintings map :)
Great especially for art fans!
And it's free!
Mostly free galleries. Excellent selection of impressionists. Worthwhile special.exhibits.
Whatever your taste in art, you're sure to find something here which suits your "palette". Home to over 2,000 paintings, you can flit from room to room at your own leisure. Aside from the main Gallery (which incidentally is free entry), there is also the Sainsbury Wing which is where they normally hold large exhibitions and talks. I visited the Monet & Architecture exhibition here recently. There's also a shop where you can buy books on the Artists and Exhibitions, a refreshment area and plenty of seating around and about. Allocate a good part of a full day if you want to see it all!
It is a treasure chest! It has such a huge collection of art across all periods in time. I was specially impressed with the way the museum has been curated, the walls, the display shows how much of taste and labour and diligence goes into making of such immemnse collections. The gallery is absolutely free apart from the temporary exhibits. Location wise it sits right on Trafalgar Square which is a nice place to sit and just soak in the city. I loved the gift shop as well.
Lovely space with a variety of art worth seeing. Make the stop and wander through the halls.
Beautiful displays of portraits spanning 1600 years of English history.
Great place. Beautiful paintings but be sure to take or download a map as it is a massive building! IT IS a must visit for anyone visiting London :)
Mantegna, Paolo di Dono, Tiziano, Caravaggio, Antonello da Messina, Van Eijk, Fantin-Latour, Morisot, Monet, Manet, Gauguin, Cezanne, Van Gogh. Shall I add more? Yes, there are many more.
The national gallery is a precious box, an immersive experience in the entire history of art. Not to miss.
Absolutely stunning museum. Beautiful art and fascinating exhibits.
So much to see with so little time to spare at this busy monumental building. If you love looking at art and need a break from being outside and haven't been to a museum, then check their FREE exhibits. You will find the works of Leonardo Da Vinci, Degas, Monet and many more famous artist. This museum is so big, you will not be able to see the entire work in a day. When you're in London, and need to past the time, or if you just want to get out of the rain, check out this museum.
Very much enjoyed Sorolla exhibition. He is a greater painter than I previously thought.
Always brilliant and one of the must visit gems in the crown of London
Excellent tateful collection of art in a brilliant setting
Spent the day, firstly on free tour, then quick bite in cafe (not restaurant) before lecture. We then checked out the Ruben vs Rembrandt exhibit. Finished around 4:30pm. Need to go back and see all that we missed.
Amazing Art museum. Just try to go when it is not too busy.!!!! Really warm inside.
This is a magical beautiful place. On your first visit you'll be overwelmed: too much to see, too much to take in. I strongly recommend the (free!) guided visit.
My advice is, once you have visited it once, if you have 20 spare minutes and you're around Trafalgar Square, just go in and sit in front of a painting, it's a magical experience.
Van Gogh, Monet, Picasso, Rembrandt- a most incredible collection! Could spend 1 hr or 3 days depending on your time availability. My family loved it
Simply one of the great art museums of the world. Just don't go when busy!!
Well amazing,changed, I last visited 40 years ago,so much has changed
The Sainsbury Wing special exhibition area is phenomenal.
While the place is great, all the paintings are behind the glass. So all the plasticity and all the details are gone because of the lightning reflections.
An excellent display of art, been their many times upon visiting London and never disappointed.
The Gallery is free though they do ask for a donation.
Has a wide variety of paintings by famous artists. Has disabled facilities, shops and restaurants
One of the best art museums in the world with a fascinating collection of art.
A world class fine art museum that you can easily get lost in. Literally!
Every time I visit, I just want more time here....the Van Goghs, Monets, Manets ... what a fabulous collection
