The National Gallery is extending its ‘pay-what-you-can’ scheme to help those struggling in the cost of living crisis.

The gallery, based in London, is allowing visitors to pay as little as £1 to visit its special exhibitions.
Their Frans Hal exhibition which opens this September is the latest show to offer the discounted tickets.
While much of the National Gallery is open to the public for free, its paid exhibitions are one of the few barriers to art - and this scheme enables those struggling with the cost of living crisis to see all the gallery has to offer.
