The National Gallery
The National Gallery is one of the best-known art museums in the world. It is housed in a building that was originally built to be a palace, but which has been converted into an art gallery. The collection at the National Gallery includes more than 2,300 paintings dating from the mid-13th century to 1900, with works by artists such as Nicolas Poussin, Rembrandt van Rijn and Claude Monet.
The National Gallery was founded in 1824 when Sir Robert Peel purchased 38 paintings by Sir Joshua Reynolds for £100,000 (around £6 million today). One year later he gave his collection of 126 paintings to the nation on condition that it would always be on permanent display free of charge and open daily from 10am until 6pm (except Sundays).
