The National Gallery was founded in 1824 and moved to its Trafalgar Square home in the 1830s; its collection grew from private donations to a national institution spanning medieval to 19th-century European painting.
The gallery maintains strict climate control and no-flash photography rules to protect pigments and canvases; visitors are asked not to touch works and to avoid food or drink in the galleries.
