2023 marks the Gallery’s 200th anniversary and the start of a building repair programme. This will lead to better storage and physical access to safeguard the collection for the future and transform how it is experienced by visitors. This means that there may be building works in progress and some areas may be temporarily closed, but we are open and there is still much to enjoy on your visit.
