The National Gallery: Art On Your Doorstep is a UK-wide programme that shares masterpieces from the nation’s collection with communities.

The ‘Croydon collection’ includes works by Artemisia Gentileschi, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Monet, Picasso, Renoir, Stubbs, Turner, Van Eyck, Van Gogh and many more. Each painting will be life-sized, so get up close to discover brilliant brush strokes and hidden details!
