About us
Who we are
The Nation's Gallery. The story of European art, masterpiece by masterpiece.
The National Gallery is an art museum in Trafalgar Square in the City of Westminster, in Central London, England. Founded in 1824, in Trafalgar Square since 1838, it houses a collection of over 2,300 paintings dating from the mid-13th century to 1900.
Our culture and values
In 2019 we asked our people to describe what values were important to us as employees of the National Gallery; what did they think they were then, and what did they want them to be.
Values are the how and why we do things and behave in a certain way. They are how we behave individually and collectively, and they are part of our organisational identity.
The chosen final Values are where we want to be and what we want our organisational culture to be. They describe what is important. They affect what we choose to do and how. They are how we must strive to behave as Gallery employees, and how we expect others to, regardless of job grade or department.
Our Values drive and support this commitment and behaviours.
