National Portrait Gallery

Telling the story of Britain through portraits, using art to bring history to life and explore living today.

Description

The National Portrait Gallery in London looks after the world’s greatest collection of portraits. Spanning six centuries, our artworks reveal the inspiring and sometimes surprising personal stories that have shaped, and continue to shape Britain – from global icons to local champions, national treasures to unsung heroes.

We are also passionate about portraiture, always progressing our art form, championing artists and encouraging creativity. We celebrate the power of portraiture to create person-to-person connections and the experiences we provide offer encounters with some of the world’s greatest artists as well as the very best in contemporary art.

The NPG coordinates touring exhibitions around the world. Please do get in touch if you would be interested to learn more about these opportunities and the exhibition requirements.
