With works spanning photography, painting, drawing and sculpture, the National Portrait Gallery holds the world’s greatest collection of portraits from the Tudor period to the present day. There are over 250,000 photographs and negatives and over 11,000 paintings, drawings and sculptures in the collection – the gallery was founded in 1856 so it’s had plenty of time to amass those pieces. It’s worth heading in to see the permanent collection but the special exhibitions are always worth checking out too, with shows on everything from Vogue to Cindy Sherman to Picasso having been hosted in the past.
