The National gallery

The National Gallery in London really caught my eye when I was going on a morning run. I had to stop for a few minutes to take in its beauty and entirety. The Gallery is massive and is really hard to miss. The historic art museum, located in Trafalgar Square was a favorite stop of mine.

The building was designed by William Wilkins from 1832 – 1838 and represents a neoclassical architectural style. Wilkins received some harsh critiques for the building but renovations since have given the building a much more contemporary aesthetic.
