Company mission
To care for, enhance and study its collection, so as to be able to encourage access to the pictures for the education and enjoyment of the widest possible public now and in the future.
Our take
The National Gallery, London, is a free-to-visit gallery housing the national collection of paintings. This collection spans the Western European tradition from the 13th to the 19th centuries, with pieces from artists the likes of Leonardo da Vinci and Vincent van Gogh.
Founded in 1824, the gallery has grown and developed over 200 years, preserving and sharing artworks with generations of visitors. It is now visited by millions of people every year, and its transformation continues, with a new wing planned to house a growing collection of 20th and 21st-century art.
It is the gallery's commercial arm, NGG, that generates the income to support the care and maintenance of the collection. This is done through associated cafes, restaurants and shops, as well as publishing, image licensing, merchandising and venue hire. On top of this, the gallery is undertaking fundraising efforts to support the new wing and further post-1900 acquisitions.
