Come face to face with Henry VIII, Beatrix Potter, Elton John and Bobby Charlton…all under one roof.
With the largest collection of portraiture in the world, the National Portrait Gallery has over 10,000 works of famous British men and women who have created the history and culture of the nation from the Middle Ages until the present day. In addition to the main collection, the Gallery offers a varied programme of special exhibitions throughout the year..
