The National Portrait Gallery holds a certain appeal due to the familiarity of its subjects. From royals to scientists, politicians to celebrities, you may have heard of the person - but will you be able to recognise them? This comprehensive collection of portraits is organised chronologically from the early Tudors on the second floor, and then by theme. Unfortunately, the gallery will be closed from June 2020 to Spring 2023 for renovations, but you can still view the gallery online.
