IDEAS ON WHAT TO SEE New National Gallery refurbishment two reasons to go to the NATIONAL GALLERY: Part of the East Wing development, the Central Hall has been refurbished and reinstated as a picture gallery. For the first time in nearly 30 years the Hall is once again being used as it was originally intended, as a flagship Renaissance gallery providing visitors with an exhilarating start to their experience in the National Gallery and focusing their attention on the artistic heart of the collection, with works from 13th c. to the Pre-Raphaelites Masters.

The walls have been hung with a richly coloured Venetian fabric, the ceiling decoration and gold leaf have been restored and new lighting, automatic blinds, humidity controls and air-conditioning have been installed. Regular visitors to the Nationl Gallery must not miss this restoration.

The tour includes time for high tea & National Gallery visit.
