First opened to the public in 1930, Room 29 is one of the largest spaces in the National Gallery. Since its doors closed in March 2022, we have been busy making important changes to the room to bring it into the 21st century. But what is the history of this room and what did it look like before? Find out as we go behind the scenes.
Edit: Prince George was the Duke of Kent (George VI's brother) and not the future King George VI, who was Prince Albert before he ascended the throne.
