Spectacular Light Show Celebrates 200 Years of the National Gallery ✨

We celebrated 200 years of bringing people and paintings together with this light show projected onto the front of our building. Highlights from the Gallery's history and paintings are brought to life. Watch in awe as our building is transformed, bringing the inside out. And learn how our history has shaped the National Gallery today.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, and has supported us from near and afar, over our Big Birthday Weekend.
Produced by Nvisible Productions, designed in collaboration with Visual Edge and Creative Technology.

Impressively designed and coordinated, and such a grand yet fun way to memorialize this important anniversary.

Thank you, Steve! Your comments always make our day!

@@nationalgallery Lovely to hear. I`m so looking forward to your Discover Degas & Miss .La La exhibition!

What an excellent celebration. My favourite painting is the Wilton Diptch. Whenever I went to London, it almost became a pilgrimage to visit. Sadly, I'm no longer able to travel.

[@alisonjenner5821]

It’s my favourite too! I visit it every time I go to the NG; and now it’s on holiday here in Oxford I can see it more frequently.

[@charlesmnadeau]

Grandiose. Well do you.

I love light show 😊😊
Happy 200th anniversary of the national gallery. 🎉🎉🎉

[@robertab7341]

I wish I had known ..... would love to see this on a bigger screen (than my phone) - see there is an art film in June - but this should be shown in a room a few times a day for a year. I think I first visited 54 years ago! My current favourites - you do some amazing small 1 room exhibitions that are powerful and informative.

Congratulations!
The home of 1 of my favorite paintungs. "The execution of Lady Jane Grey".❤
