What to Expect

Discover the story of the National Gallery and how it came to be. Learn how its past differs greatly from other large European collections.

Your National Gallery private guided tour typically includes:

Sunflowers by Van Gogh - a world-famous masterpiece.
The Water-Lily Pond by Monet - a true gem that tells the story of Monet’s later years.
Fighting Temeraire by JMW Turner - the story of the Battle of Trafalgar and naval prowess (fitting for a gallery on Trafalgar Square, right?)
The Arnolfini Portrait by Van Eyck - one of the most groundbreaking and complex paintings in the Western world, even 600 years later.
Venus and Mars by Sandro Botticelli - what does this painting teach us about how love was seen in the Renaissance era?
The Ambassadors by Hans Holbein the Younger - trickery and illusion means there is more to this painting than there may seem at first.
Plus so much more. The National Gallery is filled with grand masterpieces as well as hidden gems, and with a wealth of stories waiting to be discovered.
