We celebrated 200 years of bringing people and paintings together with this light show projected onto the front of our building. Highlights from the Gallery's history and paintings are brought to life. Watch in awe as our building is transformed, bringing the inside out. And learn how our history has shaped the National Gallery today.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, and has supported us from near and afar, over our Big Birthday Weekend.
Produced by Nvisible Productions, designed in collaboration with Visual Edge and Creative Technology.
