The Sainsbury Wing – 20th Anniversary
The National Gallery celebrated the 20th Anniversary of the Sainsbury Wing in 2011.
The Sainsbury Wing was opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 9 July 1991. The building was presented to the nation by the three Sainsbury brothers – John, Simon and Timothy – and over the past 20 years it has offered millions of visitors a fitting space in which to contemplate the National Gallery’s outstanding collection of early Renaissance paintings.
