- The revamped Sainsbury Wing, now the Gallery's main entrance, features expanded space, increased natural light, and improved accessibility with fewer steps and more lifts.
- The 'Wonder of Art' rehang repositions nearly every painting in the collection, blending chronological, thematic, and national-school arrangements to create a fresh narrative journey.
- New site-specific installations, such as Richard Long's 'Mud Sun' and suspended altarpieces, emphasize original three-dimensional and ecclesiastical contexts of the artworks.
- Dedicated galleries now highlight individual artists like Titian, Rembrandt, and Monet, while transhistorical pairings foreground works by and depicting women.
