Jef WegNovember 1, 2014Pretty good but the National Portrait Gallery is so close and more interesting
There can be queues at busy times so arrange your arrival accordingly.
David SmithJuly 23, 2011Great collection, but in this era of no flash digital cameras they should give up on trying to enforce no photos. The constant nagging of tourists from security is annoying.- Peter SigristNovember 25, 2011For Da Vinci exhibition, get there before 7.30am - it will save you time
