1 work across 1 institution

London's National Gallery holds 1 work by Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.

Klimt's golden paintings are extraordinary objects — part painting, part decorative surface, using gold leaf in ways that cameras cannot accurately photograph. The Kiss and Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I are icons of early 20th-century art, and seeing them in Vienna makes clear why they are so celebrated.

Planning your visit to London

Most major national museums in London are free to enter permanently — the National Gallery, Tate Modern, Tate Britain, and National Portrait Gallery all charge nothing for the permanent collection. The Courtauld Gallery at Somerset House and the Wallace Collection are also free. Pre-booking is rarely needed for permanent collections but recommended for major temporary exhibitions.
