If you look at the National Gallery's map (official pdf) you'll see that it lists about 60 rooms and galleries, housing paintings from 1200-1930 or so. Wiki announces that it was founded in 1824 and houses 2,300 paintings in all that space.

Victoria and Albert Mueseum
Our third visited location during the London trip was the V&A, or Victoria & Albert mueseum. I love mueseums in general, and that one in particular was absolutely enjoyable to visit. Contrary to France, where I need some official documentation to visit mueseums for free, they are by definition free in London, as far as permanent collections go.
145 galleries spread over 6 levels comprise the wonderful V&A. I loved the eclectic collections and variety in representation of art and medium. We saw paintings, sculptures and fashion collections - but there are also ceramics, jewelery, glass and iron works, and a lot more!
