The National Gallery by Gabriele Finaldi5/22/2023 Gabriele Finaldi, the gallery’s director said that his team wanted to use first weeks after the initial reopening to make sure the gallery was offering the very best visitor experience it could but in the safest way possible. Rather than simply allowing more of the public in at the same time, the gallery’s management team decided it would be better for all concerned to open for longer. Extended Hoursĭue to the numerous art lovers who were clearly not put off by any of the public health measures the gallery had put in place, the institution needed to review its procedures. Given that visitor numbers still need to be regulated to keep the viewing galleries safe for all, this news came as something of a surprise, albeit a pleasant one, for the gallery’s management team. The numbers of people turning up at the gallery led to long queues forming outside. This involved a number of one-way routing systems and limited time to spend looking at individual works in the collection.įar from worrying the public, the reopening has been a huge hit with both Londoners and visitors from further afield. The institution, located on the north side of Trafalgar Square, had made itself Covid-secure in light of government guidance. However, after over a hundred days of being closed to the public, the gallery reopened its doors on 8th July. The National Gallery went into lockdown like every other major public institution in the UK in March.
