     Speaking about art galereys of London we should first of all
mention The national galery, The national portret galerey and The
tate galery.  I would like to tell  you  about  National  portret
galery and about Tate galery.
     The national galery houses  one  of  the  richest  and  most
extensive collections of painting in the world.  It stands to the
north of the Trafalgar  Square.  the  galerey  was  desighned  by
William Wilkins  and build in 1834-37.  The collection covers all
schools and periods of painting,  but is a specially  famous  for
it's examples  of  Rembrant  and Rubents.  The british schools is
only moderately  represented  as  the  national  collections  are
shared with the Tate galerey. The National galerey was founded in
1824 when the government bought the collection of John Angerstein
which included 38 paintings.
     The Tate gtalery houses the national collection  of  british
painting from  the  16-th century to the present day.  It is also
the national galerey  for  modern  art,  including  painting  and
sculpture made in Britain,  Europe,  America and other countries.
It was opened in 1897 as the national galerey of british art.  It
owes it's  establishment  to Suie Henritate who built the galerey
and gave his own collection of 65 painting.
