The two paintings by Turner, Dido building Carthage and Sun rising through Vapour, and Claude's Seaport with the Embarkation of the Queen of Sheba, which are normally on view in this room, are currently on loan to 'Turner and the Masterpieces' at Tate Britain and will return next year.

While the paintings are out on loan, other English and French works will be on temporary display in this gallery.
