Drawing at the National Gallery: Prepare a Sketchbook and Respect the Galleries

The National Gallery publishes guidance for drawing in its galleries. Consulting it before bringing a sketchbook helps distinguish a self-guided observation visit from an organised activity and prepare materials that comply with the museum’s rules. This documentary entry does not include a booking or confirm access to a particular gallery. It is advisable to check the official guidance and any changes before travelling.
