Beautiful, breathtaking paintings in every direction but VERY crowded and loud. Make sure to go on an off time to be able to peacefully enjoy yourself. The museum isn't as big as the others, so feels very densely populated at busy times, unlike the other museums. Absolutely worth it! Amazing building and environment!
Loved it! Though its a little confusing to get around. The painting are absolutely breathtaking.
Fabulous building, fabulous paintings, and a cheap day out in London.
The Sorolla exhibition was stunning. A bit expensive for the size of the gallery, but the art was ultimately worth it.
What an amazing place, so many works of art, the staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. I had a lovely time.
Absolutely awesome, proper art, none of that modern excuse for paintings.
Fantastic range of art from about 1300s to 1900s plus a range of paid exhibitions
I love this place. Whether you like modern art, portraits, landscapes, this is the place for you. Some of my favourite artists are here (especially Canalletto). Again, whether you are 10 or 100, everyone will find a painting they love here.
It's the most beautiful place on earth with famous and obscure works of art...if you want to loose youself in the grandeur and epitome of beauty and live in awe feelings you never had, must visit this place
This museum was truly so beautiful! Getting to see Van Gogh s art in real life was such an honour. The staff are all really nice and not too intrusive but ready to help. The building is breathtakingly beautiful. There s so much seating and it isn t too loud, it s the perfect museum feeling to get lost in the art. I loved every moment here. Some of the other paintings were also very beautiful and it s like a labyrinth, you can go from room to room for different collections and you ll find your way back to the main hall easily. I definitely recommend this, it s also for free!
The worlds best art collated from throughout the centuries. A great permanent collection and excellent rotating exhibitions. Well worth a visit!
Well organised with a one way system in place and guides limiting access to the smaller room.
And the artwork is fantastic
In Trafalgar Square so easy to get to by tube, bus or walk. Paintings of all genres by the greats of the craft. Mostly free but there is a charge for special exhibitions. Security is tight and everyone is searched on entry. There is a cafe and restaurant. Open late on Fridays. Excellent shop.
I spent the couple of days here just gazing at the awesome masterpieces they have in collection. Whenever I was hungry, I grabbed a bite and continued with my intense observation looking at the colours and marks on the beautifully framed paintings.
Incredible place to take in artwork. Many of the pieces they have are of high quality and fantastic for the time period.
Beautiful European art that is inspiring, magnificent and educational at the same time. There is so much to learn about the political, social, and cultural history from the artworks. Highly recommended.
It's a must for art lovers. You can be easily two or three hours and don't cover properly all the rooms. Free admission. They also have free drawing events.
Great if you like art. Its free so enjoy as much as you can
The National Gallery is one of the most extraordinary galleries that I've ever been to. It contains over 2,300 portraits dating all the way back to the mid-13th century. Information about every single portrait is available through a completely free audio tour! Can you imagine learning about the history of over 2,000 portraits?! Obviously, there is no way that anyone could get through all 2,300 portraits in one day, but it's amazing that you can learn about each and every portrait in depth. If I lived in London, this would be an excellent pastime activity. You could literally spend weeks and even months visiting this museum, and you'd learn something new during each and every visit.
It's a pretty impressive collection and it's free too! There are many paintings by Italian, French and English masters such as Caravaggio, Leonardo and Turner. Truly amazing
I can't recommend this enough. Even if you aren't a big art fan the architecture of this museum is amazing.
Lots of beautiful and varied works of art. Organised security. Knowledgeable guides. Clean toilets.
Beautiful paintings from different styles. All in an elegant and well conserved place... for free! Highly recommended!
Great collection. Take the audio guides if you can. Adds a lot of depth to the experience. Could take days to do real justice to the collection but if you are short on time, plan to spend at least 90 minutes.
The Gauguin exhibition. Truly awesome. Would recommend investing in a headset whilst you're there to get some background and context of what your viewing.
Museum with lots of nice paintings. Most exebitions are free to enter.
Beautiful pieces of art, and the exterior of the building itself is a work of art. Love this place!
The Bellini/Mantegna exhibit is terrific. By putting the two artists side-by-side, very often with the same subject matter, the viewer gets an unusually clear understanding of the two artists, and what makes each one distinct. This is the type of exhibit that really deepens ones art appreciation. We loved it.
Excellent place with a display of many important painter.
Definatelly a must for London and for personal knowledge.
Place is huge, entrance is free, paintings are amaizing and of course there is a shop packed with souveniers and everything you might think.
Nice paintings.. It takes time to explore everything.. Rare collections are there.. must visit place..
Amazing place and free. Great place to spend an afternoon in London, especially if the weather outside isn't good.
The art work was second to none. Magnificent.
The restaurant was very poorly run and the service was way below expected standard. No idea about the food as we never received any after 30 minutes and left.
You really want to enjoy the gallery paintings do take an audio guide, it will make the picture more clearer.
Goiya, Rembrandt, Leonardo da Vinci...and other greatest guys are here. Intrance is free for all guests. It's located on the Trafalgar square.
Good wet weather location. Busy but not mental busy. Hot inside and a few more proper masters would be good. Interesting if you like art ... especially religious paintings
I'm more into modern, so i want that interested.
However, the internet is very good here!
Walked into friday late and had a wonderful hour just wandering in the free galleries looking at so many different paintings and marble busts. So many prime ministers I've never heard of. Whigs.
Incredible! Some pieces had me sitting down and just starting at them for several minutes at a time, it blew me away. I wish I lived here, that way I could keep coming back to this place, my wife had to keep dragging my along to each room haha.
One of the best art gallery where you can see: Van Gogh, Michelangelo, Leonardo, Monet, Botticelli and more!
a total secretion of knowledge . I could not of wished of a better venue to take my grandchildren.
Enjoyed the gallery. The lifts were a bit stupid and we ended up going up and down nowhere near the floor anyone wanted but a nice free day out
Beautiful building, strategic location, beautiful painting collections
If you like art and various selection of paintings in general, this is the place to go. Was a quick walk through for me, but it was worth a visit.
Great pieces of arts, including some of the most renowned artists'
This amazing gallery is free to enter..so many great masters who I just love ...people were all so friendly...I did get a cookie and cappuccino in the cafe and they were excellent ..wonderful experience
Need more than a day to do it justice. An excellent way to kill an afternoon.
picture paints a thousand words so go and see the gallery
You ll have the chance to see the beautiful painting!
A collection of famous and also new paintings. Free, plus interesting special exhibitions. Loved the Da Vinci display
Great day out. The gallery has a great collection of portraits, which are displayed in amazingly ornate rooms. It's close to the train station and free (except for a few special exhibitions). What more could you ask for.
Great for a day out! Audio guide only for selected pictures... not for entire gallery.
Free Tours and Free talks learned so much. Fun things to do for children too
Wonderful gallery, great collections and location. Highly recommend!
Nice place to visit in London. If you live paitings you must visit this place.
Very well organized for social distancing. You would need about 3hrs to walk arround and see everything and grab a glimpse of art culture! Worth it!
Loved by all, an institution with a firm foot in the 21st century
