the national gallery is right up there with the british museum. the national gallery + british museum = the new york city metropolitan museum of art. it is laid out really well with a nice map. it literally numbers each room, so that you can follow in order! it's got great masterpieces. you can't go wrong. personally, i like the botticelli and van gogh's sunflowers and the raphael and the titian. basically, a must visit. times visited: 2 time in museum: 3 hrs overall: A
