George Nelson, London’s National Gallery Reopens Its Sainsbury Wing, Now ‘More Approachable’ Than Ever, ARTnews, 9 May 2025
To celebrate its 200th anniversary, London’s National Gallery has recently revamped its Sainsbury Wing, a transformation that has taken three years and $113 million. It was an arduous process, and one that has not always received positive attention. But when I met Gabriele Finaldi, director of London’s National Gallery, on Wednesday morning in the wing’s massive, airy foyer, he seemed happy with the result. Finaldi described the renovated wing as being “more approachable for anyone who believes the National Gallery is not for them.”
