While the gallery does not match the Tates, or the Victoria and Albert museum, it has a good collection of pieces. I especially liked some new arrivals that showed the progression of Monet's style from realism to impressionism.

I've been to this museum many time's and always enjoy strolling around. Its location could not be better for the site seeing junkies like myself. The only reason I went the first time was because it was raining (shock I know, rain in London) but now I go back rain or shine. They also have a yummy cafe.

Just had a brief look in the gallery what i saw however was worth seeing. for ardent gallery visitors you could spen a lot of time in there

First and foremost this gallery is free! This beautiful structure is a standout in the city and certainly worth a look even if your not into art. The paintings are incredible and there is so much history in display here.

Loved this place. So many paintings, we did not get all the way through it, but I will go back again. LOVED all the art. BONUS: the day we went there was a street performer doing an act out front. Very funny guy.

Lovely place to visit, lot to see, need another visit to see everything, big building, went with hubby and he enjoyed it too

There are just so many exhibits and displays it is impossible to to see it all in one day. The gallery is right next to... More

Wonderful gallery. You can't really see everything so you need more than one visit (or stay there all day). I loved the Italian paintings, becoming engrossed in them and running out of time to see more! And it's free! A nice cafe as well.
