Entrance to the National Gallery's permanent collection is free, although a suggested donation is requested.

Some major temporary exhibitions have to charge an admission charge. This is because large temporary loan exhibitions cost an enormous amount to organize, including the cost of transporting paintings from abroad, research, publicity costs, and producing supporting information.

Each charging exhibition has its own address for purchasing tickets, check the Future Exhibitions and Current Exhibitions areas of the National Gallery web site for individual details.

Tickets for charging exhibitions can be bought online (booking fee), by telephone through a booking agent (booking fee), or by post from the National Gallery.
