Introduction

The National Art Museum was founded in 1824 and collects about 2300 European art masterpieces from the 13th to the 19th century. These works were mainly donated by private individuals or purchased by museums, so they differ in style from other European art museums. These collections cover almost all periods in European art history, with a focus on small to medium-sized works. Even if you don't understand art, visiting here can give you a profound experience of the boundlessness and shock of art. The National Art Museum is located next to Trafalgar Square and is easy to find. There is no admission fee, but you can donate freely. If you need to learn about the background of the main works, you can ask the service desk and rent a guide device with Chinese interpretation. The National Art Museum is divided into four wings in the southeast, northwest, and exhibits works of different styles in chronological order, covering various genres and styles from the Renaissance to the Impressionist period. The collections here are not commonly seen in China. Although there is a large crowd here, any painter who studies Western painting can enjoy the happy time of soaking in the art museum. In addition, the Micro Gallery in the Sainsbury wing provides computer query services, which can be called the most complete electronic art encyclopedia of the National Art Museum. In short, the National Art Museum is a unique art temple that allows viewers to understand the classics of European art history.
