National Gallery , London.

In my previous posts about my trip to London, I wrote about Bourton in Cotswold and about the London River Cruise . Today, I will write about my outing to National Gallery in Trafalgar Square  , London .

I am quite fond of Art museums and my younger daughter who is an artist has visited the National Gallery Several times and on my trip she was very keen that  I visit the place so one Sunday morning we set out to do the same.

You can get to the National Gallery in London by tube, bus, or overground train . The nearest tube station is Charing Cross (Northern and Bakerloo lines), and Leicester Square (Northern and Piccadilly lines) is also a short walk away. Charing Cross is the nearest overground station and is also a short distance from the Gallery. Buses that stop near Trafalgar Square, where the Gallery is located, include routes 11, 24, and 29. The amazing thing is that entry to the museum is free for everyone.

The c0llection of Paintings in the gallery is truly amazing and many works from famous artists like Van Gogh , Rembrandt, Raphael , Cezanne, Degas, Gauguin , Monet , Picasso , Renoir and many more are displayed here.

The paintings are beautifully arranged and displayed and the facilities are outstanding. The souvenir shop has a great collection of art memorabilia and books, umbrellas , wallets and practically everything related to the paintings displayed here. Since it is an art museum , words cannot do justice to it and you can see the painting below yourself and marvel at the eclectic collection.
