ART GALLEREYS OF LONDON

    Speaking about art gallereys of London we should first of all

mention  The  national gallery,  The national portret galerey and

The tate gallery. I would like to tell you about National portret

gallery and about Tate gallery.

     The national gallery houses one  of  the  richest  and  most

extensive collections of painting in the world.  It stands to the

north of the Trafalgar Square.  the  gallerey  was  desighned  by

William  Wilkins and build in 1834-37.  The collection covers all

schools and periods of painting,  but is a specially  famous  for

it's  examples  of  Rembrant and Rubents.  The british schools is

only moderately  represented  as  the  national  collections  are

shared with the Tate gallerey.  The National gallerey was founded

in 1824  when  the  government  bought  the  collection  of  John

Angerstein which included 38 paintings.

     The Tate gallery houses the national collection  of  british

painting  from  the 16-th century to the present day.  It is also

the national gallerey for  modern  art,  including  painting  and

sculpture made in Britain,  Europe,  America and other countries.

It was opened in 1897 as the national gallerey of british art. It

owes  it's establishment to Suie Henritate who built the gallerey

and gave his own collection of 65 painting.
