London's National Gallery holds 2 works by Johannes Vermeer (1632–1675) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Vermeer painted fewer than forty works in his lifetime, making seeing even one in person a significant occasion. His paintings of domestic interiors have a quality of suspended time and cool northern light that photography consistently fails to capture.

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.
