Financial statements to 31 March 2012

The National Gallery continued to benefit from the generous support of private individuals, corporate members and sponsors, trusts and foundations. This enabled the Gallery to continue its programme of exhibitions, outreach work, building restoration work and other initiatives such as the introduction of low energy lighting and a combined heat and power unit.

The number of visitors to the Gallery increased again this year and the special exhibitions were also well attended, especially Leonardo da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan.

The Gallery faces significant cuts to public funding over the next three years. No change has occurred, or is expected, in our opening hours; the Gallery continues to open its doors, free of charge, seven days a week. The cuts will, however, make private income even more critical to the future well-being of the Gallery.
