Guildhall Art Gallery was established in 1885 to house & display the Corporation of London's collection of works of art. The original Gallery was destroyed in May 1941. The new Guildhall Art Gallery was opened in 1999. It is on the same site as the first next to the mediaeval Guildhall in the historic heart of the City of London. The building also houses the remains of Roman London's Amphitheatre, unearthed on the site in 1988.
