sight in London, and I've heard about it several times. History Established in 1824 John Julius Angerstein Angerstain's house at Pall Mall Building in Trafalgar Square - 1838 First director Charles Lock Eastlake The building William Wilkins architect New house in Trafalgar Square was opened in 1838. The place was chosen, because this is the crossroad of London. It has been altered several times - Sainsbury Wing Collection Over 2300 paintings Date from the 13th century to 1900 There are represented artist like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Vincent van Gogh etc. Most of the paintings are free to watch. Conclusion National Gallery was established in 1824. At first the paintings were shown in the Angerstain's house, but since 1838 it moved to the building situated in Trafalgar Square.

Raffaeli ja Rembrandti töid. Aastatega kasvas kogu rikaste annetajate toel, kes kinkisid nii raha kui ka kunstiteoseid. Seega erineb Rahvusgalerii enamikust Mandri-Euroopa rahvusgaleriidest, mis said alguse mõne kuninga või vürsti kunstikogu natsionaliseerimisest. Galerii peahoone projekteeris William Wilkins klassitsistlikus stiilis ja see valmis 1832–1838. Sellest vasakul asub uus 1991. aastal avatud Sainsbury tiib, mille projekteerisid arhitektid Robert Venturi ja Denise Scott Brown. Ruumipuuduse tõttu asutati 1897 Tate'i galerii, kus esitletakse briti kunsti. Rahvusgalerii kogudes on rohkem kui 2300 maali, suuremalt jaolt püsiekspositsioon. Kogud ulatuvad Cimabue varastest töödest (13. sajandist) impressionistideni. Eriti esinduslik on muuseumi Madalmaade, Itaalia vararenessansi ja 17. sajandi Hispaania maalikunsti kogu. 8.
