Gallery Policies

It is an essential and ongoing part of responsible collection management to continuously review and interrogate the collection. New information about the collection is considered in relation to our policies and procedures, in particular the Due Diligence and Provenance Policy and Provenance decision-making framework. Provenance decision-making at the National Gallery is determined by an evidence-based approach evaluated on the balance of probabilities, anchored in robust legal and ethical decision-making principles and considerations.
