Leave a Legacy

Acquiring and Preserving the Great Masters for Future Generations

If you are inspired by our Gallery perhaps you would consider a gift in your will? A gift of any size will help us to grow our collection for future generations of children and adults whose enthusiasm for art can be triggered and nurtured while visiting our National Gallery.

Why Leave a Legacy?

Imagine for a moment that it’s April 1824. The government has just granted £57,000 for the 38 pictures in the collection of the banker John Julius Angerstein. Did anyone dream that 180 years later this collection would be the foundation for one of the world’s best collection of European paintings?

Every day almost 14,000 visitors are inspired, challenged and thrilled by a tour of our galleries. Every day hundreds of children enter through our imposing doors on a voyage of discovery, igniting their thirst for appreciating art.

We are striving to grow our collection every year for the benefit of future generations and to carry out more research with our world leading curators, conservators and scientists.
