The National Portrait Gallery is all about people. From Henry VIII to Kate Moss you can meet the men and women who shaped British history and culture. The Collection begins in the early sixteenth-century with the great Tudor courts and continues through to contemporary displays, which reflect the diversity, inventiveness and multi-culturalism of modern day Britain.

Artists featured range from Holbein to Hockney and the Collection includes work across all media, from painting and sculpture to photography and video. As well as the permanent displays, the Gallery has a diverse programme of exhibitions and events and a stunning rooftop restaurant and bar with spectacular views across the London skyline.
