For instance, just some of the things which will be happening are:

- There'll be a travelling art studio on tour, bringing 200 National Gallery workshops and learning activities to different communities and people, many of whom would otherwise not have any access
- There'll be an exhibition of VanGogh's most important and well-loved works, as well as paintings from private collections never seen in public before. It's the first major Van Gogh show in the UK since 2010.
- There'll be a display of the entire National Gallery Collection
