Description
The National Portrait Gallery in London is an iconic establishment housing more than 220,000 works of art including portraits, paintings, drawings, sculptures and photographs, as well as interesting exhibitions. Spanning six centuries of artwork that has helped shape Britain today, each piece comes it an inspiring personal backstory and now is your chance to get up close and personal with them.
Gain exclusive access to the Gallery before the crowds on this private National Portrait Gallery Tour and follow an experienced and knowledgeable guide on an intimate journey through the halls to uncover the hidden stories behind some of the most important portraits in the collection.
