The National Gallery Reviews

This magnificent building is truly outstanding. The building itself is a work of art, not to mention the paintings inside are amazing. It s amazing that some of the most famous pieces of arts in the world are just standing around every corner of this stunning building. Highly recommend

Open, free, great pictures great loos, lots of nice cafes, plenty of open spaces - a credit to the UK's national values. A pity its sponsored by an evil investment bank.

Always something to discover. For free, except donations.

Great place if u love art..the architecture adds to the beauty to the masterpieces kept there

Absolutely massive collection of paintings from 13th to 19th centuries. Many impressive pieces. Follow it up with Tate Modern for the 20th and 21st centuries.

The collection of fine arts masterpieces. Free entry. Highly recommended

Make sure you go to one of the free intro tours. They take you around 5 or 6 paintings and tell you lots about them

Forgot how many amazing paintings are here and it's free!

Really enjoyed the Monet and architecture exhibition and also the Degas

A wonderful place with a collection of the world's classics that will move you to silence and awe

Awesome! Seeing the old masters in real life such as the Hay Wain gave me goosebumps..

Wonderful and relaxing. We had a buggy and baby and it was pretty easy. Really appreciate the free exhibitions.

Loved the impressionist paintings. Very nice dining room

If you are interested in contemporary photography take a few hours to view the Cindy Sherman exhibition. A very complete collection of all her work from her student days and up to today s monumental frescoes.

So many nice paintings inside the gallery. Check out the map for the area that attract you the most.

The gallery on the square. What a lovely place. Knowledgeable staff and a totally in rushed experience.

Way better selection than expected. Not just portraits, wide variety of paintings. Many by known artists.

I love this place. I can never get enough of it. It's free entry and there is a lot to see. Even if you know nothing about art, it's well worth going and looking at the famous paintings and culture. It can get pretty busy but it never feels too cramped. There is a little cafe there where you can get some food after the visit.

Expectations were high and it certainly met them, plenty of iconic paintings there too. Food is high quality and high price, if you're on a tight budget then eat before you go in.

The National Gallery is an old friend, I have been many times and it gets better, the pictures are exquisite , and the shop is an amazing place for unusual gifts.

A simply incredible collection of art from a huge range of famous artists. Very busy but never felt rushed and was able to admire the art at leisure.

Just awesome. It has a collection of some of the most influencia painters in history. The book and gift show are very.

One of my favourite places to visit in London. Incredible collection of artworks...and it's free!

A great place to spend time and enjoy the wonderful pictures

Check out the lovely Gaugan show at the National Gallery

Lovely place to visit, Door staff helpful, friendly cafe staff.. Will DEF go back

I absolutely love this gallery, and think it is one of the best in the world. The building itself is beautiful, a good lay out which makes it easy to walk from room to room. The art itself is breathtaking, amazing pieces of art covering periods from the 13th century. There are plenty of little shops and cafes throughout.

The gallery can get very busy during the touristy periods, but personally I love going here and getting lost in the crowd looking at some amazing history.

All the galleries are free you should go and experience the masters of painting

Went to the Reflections exhibition. What there was was fine. However I thought it a bit thin on the ground. More Pre-Raphaelite pictures would have helped

One of the major galleries in the world. Unmissable.

I had come here couple of years ago and hadn't been here since having arrived at London a year ago, came with my mom. There so many great paintings! From Van Gogh to Boticelli it just blows your mind. Must go.

One of the places to be for a free tour of culture. Whether you're tourist or a Londoner, and you don't have to pay a penny. Right next to Trafalgar Square.

Great collection of arts of many famous artists such as Rembrant van Rejn, Rubens, Botticelli, Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet and others. The visit might take hours deppends on how much you are interest in arts. The entrance is for free.

Place for anicient art , the painting will talk with you ...

Amazing to be able to see amazing works of art for free. Thank you for the opportunity

Love this place. The selection of art is amazing, even the crowds at the Van Gough paintings don't put me off

Cafe has great coffee! And there's lots of impressive paintings.

It's always a lovely calm place to view amazing works of fantastic painters. This is the second time I've been and it's still as fascinating as before.

I even got the audio guide which I recommend, as it gives you a run down of details in the painting, or extra interesting information which really enhances the experience.

Always looove this place. Greatest selection of paintings from all the eras, it contains some of the most famous ones. Everyone will enjoy this visit. Beautiful halls and location. Couldn't recommend it more.

With a fantastic help from the lady on the information desk, the El Greco exhibit was great! A real shame the Peder Balke exhibit was no more - I'd had a stirring feeling to go back to it and explore his longing explorations again, but apparently even shows of great beauty like that don't last forever. Lucky owners, your frames are returning.

Rembrant, Degas, Monet, oh my! What more can you ask for.

Room after room of the best in Renaissance and Baroque art

Absolutely great collections and I love to visit here when they offer night viewing. It's more quiet and not crowded. You can sit on the bench to view the paintings.

The National Gallery is an amazing place to be. It is rich in medieval arts and even modern arts. The collections are carefully soughted which inspires a feeling of transfiguration when each art is contemplated upon. Hundreds of tourists flock into the center each day to admire the beautiful and amazing great masterpiece of arts.

A little bit to crowded at some points and to loud to really enjoy the pieces but still a good place to go.

If you like arts or are even curious about arts..must go,

Van Gogh Sunflower piece is there too...lots of other collection.

Be prepared to spend a day here

Free entry, you can donate if you want. It's a beautiful building and well organized.

My second favourite place to visit in London. The entrance is free. The gallery is absolutely amazing with a lot of sounding names.

The National Gallery is a great museum. It has pictures from just before Renaissance to just after 1900. It is free so you can visit it again and again. I have enjoyed on a number of occasions and highly recommend the free, 1hour afternoon guided yours (when someone very knowledgeable speaks on about 5 pictures). Best time to visit is Friday evening.

The selection of work is incredible and admission is free. However the museum has courted controversy by refusing to return artefacts to their original countries. Be sure to see the Rosetta Stone and Parthenon room.

An amazing gallery with curated works of arts. It will take a full day to really appreciate all the artwork so if you're planning to visit, block the entire day.

Whistle-stop tour beautiful paintings breathtaking art work
