My visit
Sometime, during the year, I'd read the National Gallery would be having a Lucien Freud exhibiton of all of his paintings and drawings. Everyone, who could go there during an evening, would be able to pay how much they could afford. I was one of them. But, I arrived half an hour too early but the person checking the tickets didn't mind. I could take as much time as I liked to look round. There were seats in the rooms for me to sit down. There was a small shop, which sold the accompanying guide book, but I thought it was very expensive. Afterwards, I was allowed to walk round the gallery seeing their paintings. But, I couldn't stay long as the bus to the hotel didn't run all night. So, I went back to Charing Cross underground station.

A Stunning Collection of Paintings
The National Gallery in London is one of the best museums in Britain. Home to famous paintings such as the Hay Wain by John Constable, The Fighting Temeraire by J. M. W. Turner, Virgin of the Rocks by Leonardo da Vinci and Vase with Fifteen Sunflower by Vincent van Gogh amongst many more. The Gallery is also marvellously decorative with every room looking really stunning and rich. I spent 2 hours looking around, but I recommend you can spend 3-4 hours looking around taking a more of a detailed look. There are over 2000 paintings in the National Gallery plus some temporary displays which can sometimes have an entrance fee. While I was there they had a Turner temporary display in which you can view paintings such as Cologne, the Arrival of a Packet-Boat: Evening and Harbour of Dieppe: Changement de Domicile. Overall its a wonderful experience visiting the National Gallery.
