National Gallery for Foreign Art

An eclectic assemblage of international artworks is on display in this huge gallery, and although you won’t find any world-class treasures here, there are a few big names and plenty of little-known artists to discover. On the ground floor you can browse Indian woodcarvings, Burmese Buddhas, African tribal art and colourful Japanese prints. Upstairs are several galleries of European paintings, mostly by long-forgotten artists, while highpoints include a Van Dyck portrait, minor sketches by Renoir, Matisse and Degas, and a Last Supper attributed to Palma Vecchio. There are also some small bronzes by the 16th-century German Master Conrad Meit and bronze studies for The Burgesses of Calais by Rodin. Works of minor artists worth seeking out include Albert Andre’s everyday scenes (such as The Small Restaurant) and Henry Moret’s Impressionistic landscapes.
