Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book traces the development of some of Britain's most important cultural institutions, including the National Gallery and the British Museum. It reveals how in the 18th century, seeing art was a privilege reserved for the well - heeled, with members of the public largely excluded from galleries and exhibitions. Later, entry fees were introduced, but they priced out the poorest. By the 19th century, the situation began to change as admission charges were abolished and more galleries opened to the public, leading to an increased appreciation of the visual arts. For many years, the lack of a dedicated National Gallery was a sore point, with several attempts to establish one failing. However, in 1824, John Julius Angerstein's collection was purchased by the government, and the National Gallery was finally born. It was a significant development, making great art accessible to all, and it laid the foundation for Britain's rich cultural landscape.
