Mastering the art of family entertainment.

At the National Gallery you can see some of the world’s most famous art for free, from Van Gogh, Monet, Vemeer, Constable and Botticelli. But there’s much more to do than admire the skills of the painters. There’s always something going on for your whole family to enjoy.

Want to learn more about art? The National Gallery hosts a fascinating series of events such as talks and tours so you can fully appreciate the art and its history. You can also join in lectures and courses if you want to build on your own skills. Who knows, you may have your own paintings admired by future generations.

Art of every kind.

Every Friday, you can enjoy performances given by musicians from the Royal College of Music, who perform a different programme each week. Or why not bring the youngsters along on a Sunday to take part in the range of family activities? These include story telling for the under 5s and art workshops for 5 – 11’s.

Feed the body as well as the mind.

Why not grab some lunch whilst you’re there? At the National Gallery Dining Rooms you can eat in a traditional British restaurant, offering a classic menu of delicious regional dishes. Or the National Café is the perfect place for brunch, lunch and afternoon tea -  choose from a modern European menu with a slice of cosmopolitan Café culture.
