National Portrait Gallery
National Portrait Gallery
The National Portrait Gallery was founded in 1856 to collect portraits of famous British men and women. Explore over 195,000 portraits from the 16th Century to the present day.
The primary collection dates back to the 17th Century, but we also have special collections dedicated to the First World War, Virginia Woolf, the Real Tudors and the annual BP Portrait award.
Our workshops for young people include Pick Up a Pencil and The Big Draw, and are often run by guest artists. Booking is often required so please do contact us.
