This stately neoclassical building contains an unrivaled collection of Western art spanning 7 centuries -- from the late 13th to the early 20th -- and covering every great European school. For sheer skill of display and arrangement, it surpasses its counterparts in Paris, New York, Madrid, and Amsterdam.
The London Art Gallery is one of the most favourited art galleries in all of Europe. There are many beautiful works on display at London's National Gallery. The gallery urges visitors to explore the artwork chronologically (ie: view the paintings in the order of which they were painted), but the rooms themselves are not in a clear sequential order. Once you give up on the method of traveling in and out of rooms to find the order of each painting painted, you'll find yourself more at leisure. The National Gallery offers a wonderful collection of classic art and best of all entrance is free to the regular permanent collection. It's easy to get to from Charing Cross and Leiscester Sq Tube stations.
