Museum tags: Art; Classical art; Impressionism
London’s world-famous major gallery, dominating Trafalgar Square. Home to a huge collection of art from the 13th century to the 20th, including work by Leonardo da Vinco and Van Gogh’s sunflowers. Usually also hosts one blockbuster (paid) temporary exhibition at a time.
The gallery houses more than 2,000 paintings dating from the mid-13th century up until 1900 and there’s few places on earth to see such an impressive of roll call of history’s most famous artists: da Vinci, Michelangelo, Van Gogh and Monet are all here.
A lot of the space is taken up with old religious works and renaissance paintings. This isn’t particularly my thing – but the collection is certainly impressive. For me (and many others) the highlight is the impressionist and post-impressionist rooms, filled with some of the most beautiful paintings you’ll see anywhere.
