Why go
The National Gallery on Trafalgar Square houses the national collection of Western European painting from the 13th to the 19th centuries and is a non-departmental public body sponsored by the government's culture department (DCMS), according to the UK government's page on it. The gallery's visit page says general admission is free and some exhibitions are charged, and that visitors can book a free ticket for fast-track entry or simply walk in. The same page names the Sainsbury Wing, facing Trafalgar Square, as the main entrance for everyone and says every door has walk-through metal detectors where bags are inspected. It also says some rooms are closed and some paintings moved during building work, and advises checking a painting's current location before a visit. This record is the National Gallery, not the separate National Portrait Gallery.
