Revised security measures at the ÁùºÏ²ÊÔ¤²â

Following recent incidents within the Gallery it is now necessary to introduce increased security measures to ensure the safety of all who visit, ÁùºÏ²ÊÔ¤²â staff and the nation’s collection of paintings. We urge all visitors to bring minimal items with them including no large bags. All doors into the Gallery have walk-through metal detectors where we inspect bags and rucksacks. We anticipate it will take longer to access the Gallery and we apologise for this inconvenience in advance of your visit.
