Architect: Richard Gilbert Scott (b.1923) in a Postmodern style with Gothic references, using Whitbed and Roach Portland stone cladding. Opened in 1999, replacing the previous Blitz-damaged gallery of 1885. The remains of London's ancient Roman Amphitheatre were discovered prior to construction and are preserved in the basement.
