Ranking among the top art museums in the world, London's National Gallery represents an almost complete survey of European painting from 1260 until 1920.
The museum's greatest strengths are in its collections of Dutch Masters and Italian Schools of the 15th and 16th centuries.
Among its highlights are a cartoon (preliminary sketch) of the Madonna and Child by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo's The Entombment, Botticelli's Venus and Mars, van Gogh's Sunflowers, and The Water-Lily Pond by Monet.
