Art Film: My National Gallery, London at Florence Griswold Museum

The documentary My National Gallery, London offers a compelling look into one of the world’s most iconic art institutions. Through personal reflections from individuals whose lives have been shaped by the gallery—ranging from security guards and directors to celebrities and members of the royal family—viewers gain a deeper appreciation for the National Gallery’s vast collection and legacy.

The film features stories from Claudia Winkleman, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam, Jacqueline Wilson, HRH Princess Eugenie, and others as they share their connection to a single artwork in the museum. Their choices span well-known masterpieces to lesser-known treasures, offering a unique narrative about the role art plays in our lives and how this historic institution continues to evolve.

The screening will take place on Saturday, May 10 at 1:00 pm at the Florence Griswold Museum, located at 96 Lyme Street, Old Lyme, Connecticut. For additional information or tickets, visit florencegriswoldmuseum.org or contact the museum directly.
