LONDON: Britain's National Gallery reopens on Wednesday , with masks recommended and social distancing and advance booking mandatory, as the country continues to emerge from three months of coronavirus lockdown.
The National Gallery's daily hours have been reduced from eight to five, though on Friday they will be extended to 10 hours. "We've got that extra capacity, by opening longer if we need to if it's busy, which would be a nice problem to have," he added.The National Gallery was founded in 1824 and has a collection of more than 2,300 paintings dating from the mid-13th century to the 1900s.
It is the wealthiest of the trio, according to a 2018 survey by the Times, which estimated its reserves then were £217 million.
