Discover The National Gallery in London

One of the amazing things about Europe is the abundance of history, culture, architecture, and their fabulous collections of art which can be found in major cities across Europe.

Second only to the Musee du Louvre in popularity, The National Gallery in London, England, offers complimentary admission to view more than 2,300 paintings within their gallery walls.  Works on display include those by Renoir, Rembrandt, and Da Vinci.

With such a vast number of paintings offered, it may seem somewhat overwhelming when considering a visit to The National Gallery.  In recognition of such, the Gallery has compiled a list of 30 paintings that are considered to be must-sees during your visit.  These include paintings such as The Supper at Emmaus by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio and Venus and Mars by Sandro Botticelli.

If you have a strong desire to work amongst these wonderful works of art, you might want to consider attending a California college, such as the University of Redlands, to pursue a career in Art History.  Students are exposed to fine art classics through learning about sculptures and paintings plus they also have the chance to explore modern art through film and photography.

Another venue to establishing a career in the art world is to get a business degree from the University of Redlands which would allow graduates to establish themselves on the administrative side of things.  Graduates could have the chance to work in a management position at a museum or even in an art gallery.
