Description

This is a handy pocket-sized account of the growth and development of London's popular National gallery. Since it first opened its doors to the public in 1838 it has grown slowly and incrementally with occasional spurts of more ambitious reshaping. This timely book has a full account of the major redesign by Dixon Jones that opened in September 2005.
