national galleries
State-funded art museums
National galleries are government-funded art museums that house a nation's most significant art collections, typically featuring works of historical and cultural importance.
Most major countries have one: the National Gallery in London, the National Gallery of Art in Washington.
The term distinguishes state-sponsored institutions from private museums and regional galleries.
