Find Inspiration at These Art Galleries
London has been a center for art and artists for centuries, and the capital city is bursting at the seams with galleries and art museums. The best part is, most of them are free to visit!The nation’s artistic treasures can be found at the National Gallery on Trafalgar Square, which houses over 2,000 paintings from the 13th century to the year 1900. Its sister museum, the National Portrait Gallery, is just around the corner and lets you see the faces of important Brits from history. Tate Britain houses British art from the Tudor times to the contemporary period and includes a large collection of works from J.M.W. Turner. Finally, if you’re looking for something a little more modern and less British-focused, then you’ll enjoy a trip to the Tate Modern on the South Bank. In addition to modern and contemporary art exhibitions, you can also visit the top of the tower for an amazing view of the city.
