Which name is correct?175.103.25.138 (talk) 13:00, 13 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

This is called "The National Gallery". There are several institutions around the world called "The National Art Gallery" but not this one of those. If you look at their website you will see that they only use the name "National Gallery". We can describe the institution as a national art gallery, but that is just a description, not its name. --DanielRigal (talk) 13:10, 13 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

In Popular Culture?

Would this page benefit from an in popular culture section? I'm thinking particularly of Doctor Who, which featured the National Gallery repeatedly between 2009 and 2013 DParkinson1 (talk) 20:26, 13 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
