The National Gallery will unveil its new main entrance on May 10th, designed by Selldorf Architects in collaboration with Purcell heritage architects. This redesign is a crucial part of the £85 million NG200 Welcome building programme to celebrate the Gallery's 200th anniversary. The renovated Sainsbury Wing aims to accommodate increased visitors, improve overall access, and enhance the public experience in Trafalgar Square. Features will include unobtrusive security measures and intuitive wayfinding, along with amenities such as a café, restaurant, and bookshop.
"We all miss out when anyone thinks that the National Gallery is not for them. Selldorf Architects' thoughtful interventions make the Gallery entrance lighter, more welcoming, and more visible as a public space."
