Seeing Self: Explorations in Self-portraiture
National Portrait Gallery · St. Martin's Pl, London WC2H 0HE
11 August 2026
Free
A new free display gathering self portraits by artists including Paula Rego, Lindsay Kemp and Steve McQueen, tucked into room 29 on the first floor. Each artist turns the camera or the brush back on themselves, a small collection with a lot to say. Worth the detour on your way through the main galleries.
