It means practically anyone who wants to see the upcoming Lucian Freud exhibition - complete with his controversial portrait of Queen Elizabeth II - will be able to afford to.
Visitors on Friday evenings between 5.30pm and 9pm can book tickets in advance for a minimum payment of £1.
Standard admission for the exhibition, which brings together 65 works from collections across the world, is from £24 on weekdays and from £26 at the weekend.
Gallery director Dr Gabriele Finaldi said: "The cost of an exhibition ticket can sometimes make it difficult to visit.
"While most of our temporary exhibitions are free, the pay what you wish scheme will enable practically anyone who wants to see the Freud centenary show to do so."
