Reaching beyond the Gallery
As a publicly funded national institution, the Gallery strongly believes it is important for the collections and public services to be available as widely as possible, not just to visitors to London.

Regional Partners In 1975 the Gallery established its first regional partnership at Montacute House in Somerset. The whole of the top floor of the house is given over to the display of 16th and 17th century portraits from our collections. Two more followed at Beningbrough Hall in North Yorkshire and at Bodelwyddan Castle in Denbighshire.

Long-term and temporary exhibition loans The Gallery also has a policy of long-term loans to organisations throughout Britain and abroad. Portraits are also lent for inclusion in temporary exhibitions at home and around the world.

Touring exhibitions The Gallery is also committed to touring exhibitions, and we have well-established relationships with major regional UK venues.
