Disambiguation
This page has been the subject of a cut-and-paste move. I think the National Gallery should be at National Gallery (as far as I can tell all the other National Galleries of the English-speaking world are the National Gallery of Whatever), but I realise that may be a slightly parochial view. In any event the move should be done properly. I will revert this unless someone gives me a very good reason not to (or someone does it first). --rbrwr
- Yes, it's parochial. I can't speak for other countries, but even just here in Australia there are two National Galleries, both well-known. Clearly, it needs to be "National Gallery of London" (or whatever). Revert the cut & paste by all means, but then move the page to a suitable title. Tannin
OK, I've undone the cut-and-paste. I think this should probably go to "National Gallery, London", which is a term used on the NG website. I still have to point out that the proper name of the institution is "The National Gallery", not "The National Gallery of London, England" or anything like that. Does anyone have a better suggestion than "National Gallery, London"?
There's also the question of what to do with this page, assuming we move the London NG away. Here are some of the things we might have to disambiguate between:
- Australia
- National Gallery of Australia, Canberra [1]
- National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne [2]
- Bermuda: Bermuda National Gallery [3]
- Canada: National Gallery of Canada (Musée des beaux-arts du Canada), Ottawa [4]
- Ireland: National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin [5]
- South Africa: South African National Gallery [6]
- UK
- National Gallery, London [7]
- National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh [8]
- The National Museum & Gallery, Cardiff [9]
- USA: National Gallery of Art, Washington DC [10]
- Armenia: National Gallery of Armenia [11]
- Czech Republic: Národní galerie v Praze, Prague [12]
- Denmark: Statens Museum for Kunst [13]
- Finland: Valtion Taidemuseo/Statens Konstmuseum [14]
- Greece: National Art Gallery and Alexandros Soutzos Museum
- Iceland: Listasafn Íslands [15]
- Jordan: Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts [16]
- Norway: Nasjongalleriet [17]
- Slovakia: Slovenská Národná Galéria [18]
- Slovenia: Narodna Galerija [19]
--rbrwr
National Gallery, London sounds good to me. Tannin
Moved. Now I need to fix all the links and turn National Gallery into a disambiguation page based on the list above --rbrwr
- Looking good, Rbrwr. Tannin 07:59 Jan 31, 2003 (UTC)
1777
The article on the Italian Wikipedia says that the idea for a National Gallery was first mooted as early as 1777. If anyone knows more about this date (or any other calls for a National Gallery before the 1820s) I would be hugely grateful to hear from them. Ham 17:19, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
the National Gallery,with its elegant dome and graceful colonnades,dominates the north side of Trafalgar Square,housing a very rich collection of paintings.Most famous are the Renassance and Impressionist works.
Level 2?
The floor plan included in this article is described as a level 1 floor plan, however to my knowledge only the Sainsbury Wing has a Level 1, the main building has a Level 0 and Level 2 and the floor plan used in this article appears to be Level 2. Should this be changed from Level 1 to Level 2?
