The National Gallery

Description

The National Gallery, founded in 1824, holds the United Kingdom's national collection of Western European paintings and is based at Trafalgar Square in London. It is a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, and a UK Research and Innovation accredited Independent Research Organisation. Research is an institution-wide activity, coordinated through the Gallery's Research Centre, which brings together curatorial, conservation, scientific, digital, and library and archive researchers through collaborative projects and public events. Its research strengths include technical art history, conservation and conservation science, the scientific analysis of paintings and their materials, digital imaging, and provenance, library and archive research, published since 1977 in the Gallery's peer-reviewed Technical Bulletin. It holds an Arts and Humanities Research Council Collaborative Doctoral Partnership with the Bowes Museum, and contributes conservation and heritage-science data to the Heritage Science Data Service under the AHRC Research Infrastructure for Conservation and Heritage Science programme.
