One of the largest museums in the United Kingdom.

About

At the edge of Trafalgar Square, the museum's white stone facade comes into view. The light of the sky flowing above it seems to trace along the walls of the gallery. Walking through the corridors, one falls into a stillness as if time had stopped in the room where Giotto's paintings unfold. Here, the fragrance of the Renaissance and the emotion of 19th-century painting are woven into the air. The moment sculpture and painting face one another, visitors are enveloped in the breath of art accumulated over a long span of time.
