National Gallery
The National Gallery is an art museum on Trafalgar Square in central London, founded in 1824 to house a national collection of paintings. Its principal façade, designed by William Wilkins, faces the square and the building has been expanded piecemeal over the 19th and 20th centuries, including the Sainsbury Wing added in 1991.

As it stood in 1991
The shape it held in its prime.
A broad pale ashlar neoclassical façade facing Trafalgar Square, dominated by a central portico of six tall Corinthian columns supporting a triangular pediment and a shallow drum-and-dome rising behind it. A wide symmetric flight of stone steps and balustraded terraces descend to the plaza; the long low wings flank the portico with regularly spaced rectangular windows and colonnades. Red vertical banners hang between the central columns and Victorian-style lamp posts punctuate the approach.
