Guildhall Art Gallery is home to the City of London Corporation’s works of art. The wide-ranging collection of 4,500 works includes an excellent selection of representations of London and Londoners at work throughout the 20th Century. The first purpose-built gallery for displaying the collection was completed in 1885, but it was destroyed in The Blitz in 1941, resulting in the loss of many artworks. The City of London Corporation redeveloped the site, adjacent to the Guildhall, and the new Gallery was opened in 1999.
