We were pleasantly surprised at how many wonderful artists works can be seen here: Degas, Monet, Manet, Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Constable, Turner… the list goes on. We spent a few very enjoyable hours wandering round and appreciating this fabulous place. If you’re visiting London it should definitely be on your to do list.

Located in the Trafalgar Square, the National Gallery is an excellent art gallery, hosting lots of iconic artworks. In my opinion, it's a must see. The entrance is free, which surprised me when I planned my trip to London.

We came here for the After Impressionism exhibition which covered the period from about 1886 until 1914. It is a huge exhibition in 8 rooms and contains many paintings I haven't seen before probably as they are in private collections. We were enthralled and spent 2 hours here. I particularly liked the Van Gogh paintings. I thought the narrative within the rooms was a bit confused though.

Pretty good collection of paintings from artists like Van Gogh, Monet, among others. Admission is freel. The interior of the building and the grounds are really neat to look at and take in as well.

After Impressionism Show a must see. Many works from Private Collections. Look out for Piet Mondrian’s 1906 tree tryptich (depicting his arriving at abstraction) Picasso’s portrait of Gustave Couiot, Van Gogh’s of Madame Genoux (from memory)and Vuillard’s shadowy Lugnie Poe, to name a few. You’ll get visual Indigestion and want to see this twice. But there is more in the permanent exhibition.

Though the art is exceptional, please, please why do you need to take photos of every single piece! I had a camera shoved in front of my face multiple times around this breathtaking gallery. I’m hopeful the National will start to do something about this problem when viewing art, to actually view it... taking selfies in the corner of the gallery or do your own personal photoshoot is just not what these special places are about!

One of the last things we saw on our England trip was the National Gallery. While I had see both Tate's, this was the best art museum in London with the most diverse collection with the best artist and pieces. The paintings are masterpieces by the greatest artists, de Vinci, Titian, and Vermeer to Impressionist like Monet, Manet and Renoir and Post Impressionist like Suerat, Cezanne and Van Gogh. There were even interesting paintings from British history. All of this it a great building that was decorated for the season. Again, there are many art museums in London, but this is the best.

Quite overwhelming to be honest. It’s definitely worth a visit, their collection is impressive. Seeing everything is almost impossible, and here comes the only drawback of it that I can see. The staff isn’t helpful enough, for example when I asked how I can get to something I was answered that I didn’t have enough time to get there( it was 30 min to closing). In my opinion it isn’t how you treat a guest. Apart from that great experience, but only if you have a lot of free time. In other case, you have come and try to see at least the highlights.

Lovely museum with free admission, though do prebook a ticket so you can skip the long line waiting to buy tickets. Well laid out, so fairly easy to follow rooms in sequence and not miss anything. Raphael is still the best in my opinion, and he didn’t disappoint here. One of the best art collections in the world - do not miss.

Some forty rooms to explore. It has an amazing collection of masterpieces with works from Botticelli, Caravaggio, da Vinci, Michelangelo, Monet, Raphael, Turner, van Gogh and more. The Ambassadors and the Arnolfini Portrait were two classic paintings that I had read about and finally got to see. Reserving a time slot online allowed us to bypass the line on a Saturday. Great art museum.
