About
This Legacy Awareness Month, join Gallery Educator Carlo Corsato as he explores some of the hundreds of works in our collection purchased thanks to gifts in Wills. Incredibly, over a fourth of all the paintings on the Gallery’s walls have come to us through these acts of generosity. On this guided walking tour, discover how legacies of all sizes have shaped the nation’s collection since its foundation 200 years ago.
This tour will start in Central Hall
