The cause of the fire at the London site is still under investigation as firefighters remain at the scene.
No artwork was damaged in the fire at Somerset House, but the rest of the landmark remains closed "until further notice".
Visitors queued outside the gallery before it opened at 10:00 BST on Sunday, with one person telling the BBC he was "sad" to see the fire but "relieved" the art was safe. He said they were all worried the artwork had been damaged but were “very relieved” to hear it was safe.
