| National Gallery gets a brush up |
|
|
|
 |
|
Grand plans are afoot to turn Trafalgar Square into one of the grandest civic open spaces
in the UK.
|
|
| The pedestrianisation of the Square is due to be completed this summer.
|
|
| Part of
the overhaul will see the National Gallery, housed in the Square, get a radical new look.
|
|
| The National Gallery, which houses one of the largest collections of paintings in the
UK, is to receive the following improvements:
|
|
- a new entrance to the east wing
- the main entrance will be opened up and the Central Hall returned to its
former glory as a major picture gallery
- a refurbished eating area.
|
|
| Admission is free to the gallery and the work is due to be completed in 2005. |
