National Gallery

Inspire your students to explore their creativity and let it run wild with an inspirational and enriching visit to the National Gallery. This museum in London houses one of the greatest collections of European painting in the world, dating from the 13th century to the 19th century. The collection has been growing since 1824 when the first paintings in the gallery were purchased from John Julius Angerstein for £57,000 by the House of Commons. Amongst the impressive collection are works such as Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers”, Rembrandt’s “Belshazzar’s Feast” and several works by Leonardo da Vinci. As well as an inspiring self-led tour, your students can also experience a range of daily talks to gain further insight into the artists and movements which inspired and produced some of the fantastic paintings that can be seen throughout the gallery.
