National Gallery, London
The National Picture Gallery in London. Its origins date back to 1824, when the art collection of Russian-born banker JJ Angerstein was purchased by the state and exhibited in his mansion. The current building in Trafalgar Square was built between 1833 and 1837 to a design by W. Wilkins. Unlike many national art museums in other Western countries, it was not based on a royal collection, but rather on works that have been collected successively through the discerning eye and taste of successive directors since its founding, with the addition of private donations and bequests.

ロンドンにある国立絵画館。ロシア生れの銀行家アンガーステインJ.J.Angersteinの美術収集が国家に購入され,1824年その邸宅で公開されたのが起源である。現在のトラファルガー・スクエアの建物は1833‐37年にウィルキンズW.Wilkinsの設計によって建設された。他の西欧諸国の国立美術館の多くと異なり,王家の収集を原型とせず,創立後現在に至るまでの歴代館長の鑑識眼と好みとによって順次収集された作品に個人の寄贈,遺贈が加わったという特徴をもつ。
