## 🎉 Friday Night Social at the National Gallery London 🎉

Art. Connection. Adventure.
Join us for an unforgettable evening at one of the world’s most iconic art museums—the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square! With its late-night opening hours and legendary collection, this is your chance to explore masterpieces, meet new people, and enjoy a relaxed social vibe in the heart of London 🌆.

### 🖼️ About the National Gallery

Founded in 1824, the National Gallery houses over 2,300 paintings spanning from the 13th to the early 20th century. From da Vinci’s ethereal brushwork to Van Gogh’s swirling sunflowers, this museum is a treasure trove of Western European art. And the best part? Admission is free! 🆓
Whether you're an art aficionado or just curious, the Gallery offers a welcoming space to wander, reflect, and connect. It’s a place where history meets inspiration—and tonight, it meets community.
