The gallery was founded in 1824 and now it houses more than 2,300 paintings from the 13th to 20th century.

Get a detailed description of the painting’s meaning and be amused by something new about the works you thought you knew. Take a new look at the art with your experienced and devoted guide, who is an artist himself. Gaze at unfinished Michelangelo work, and think about how great the master was as his unfinished work is exhibited in the prestigious museum.

Dig into the hundreds of years of UK history as you watch the faces of the past. Take a look at the best-known portrait of William Shakespeare and other prominent figures.
