Our history
The George Beaumont Group and Circle are named after Sir George Beaumont, who in 1826 helped to create the National Gallery by giving his collection of great master paintings to the nation.
The George Beaumont Group and George Beaumont Circle are part of this legacy, and their support and donations enable the Gallery to continue to care for its outstanding collection and preserve it for this and future generations, as well as fund new acquisitions and curatorial positions, and support our thriving exhibitions programme.
