National Gallery lifts its ban on modern art and plans new wing after £375m investment
The Guardian
|September 10, 2025
The National Gallery has lifted its ban on collecting modern paintings made after 1900 as part of a revamp that will include a new wing, made possible after it secured a landmark investment of £375m.
A new part of the gallery will be built behind the Sainsbury building as part of Project Domani - "tomorrow" in Italian - after two donations of £150m each from Michael Moritz's Crankstart foundation and the Julia and Hans Rausing Trust. The remaining £75m will come from the National Gallery Trust and an anonymous group of donors.
An architecture competition will launch today to decide who will design the space, with the new site expected to open in the "early 2030s".
It will be the biggest project of its kind at a major British arts institution since the opening of Tate Modern 25 years ago. It is a coup for the National Gallery, which has managed to secure huge investment at a time when many arts institutions are struggling to raise funds for capital projects.
