The National Gallery started life in 1824 when the British government purchased the collection of 38 pictures from the estate of banker John Julius Angerstein. Originally the pictures were displayed in Angerstein's former home in Pall Mall. It was only in 1838 that the collection moved to its current site in Trafalgar Square. The building & collection have continued to expand ever since; today, the National Gallery houses one of the world's greatest collections of western European paintings. This book brings together the stories behind the founding & growth of the National Gallery: the generous benefactors, the architectural controversies, the acquisitions, the dedicated staff & the visiting public. Richly illustrated, with archive photography, it provides insights into the history of the people & events that have helped shape this much-loved national institution. ...

This is the story of how the paintings moved to Wales, but the gallery stayed 'open for business', a photographic record of the paintings' war, & a celebration of the wartime spirit when Londoners found solace in art & music. On Wednesday 23 August 1939, the National Gallery closed its doors to the public, not knowing when they would open again. The paintings were to be secretly evacuated in a relocation that took only eleven days. The last shipment left Trafalgar Square on 2 September, the day before war was declared. At first the majority of the collection was stored in a number of private houses & public buildings, predominantly in Wales. However, by May 1940
- as the conflict progressed & the risk of bombing in Wales increased
- it was felt that the paintings were no longer safe, & they were dispersed further. Ministers briefly considered transporting the entire collection to Canada, but Churchill immediately vetoed the plan stating, 'hide them in cellars or caves, but not one picture shall leave this island'. The paintings were eventually stored in Manod Quarry, a slate mine covered by 200 feet of solid rock in the mountains above the village of Ffestiniog. This book tells the story of the National Gallery's war for the first time. Extensive & eloquent archive photography, alongside press reports & Gallery correspondence, provide the basis for a story that captures the public's relationship with the collection.
