Before you go

Before you go, check the National Gallery website to confirm which paintings are on view, since works can be off display due to loans, conservation, or rotation. The museum regularly changes its room displays, so a painting may not be in the same gallery from year to year, and works on paper are especially subject to rotation. You can also search the online collection database for the latest information about a specific work, which is the most reliable way to know if it is currently accessible.
