Code:
RedirectMatch permanent ^/?galleries/(.+) http://www.domain.com/newgalleries/$1
OR something like this
RedirectMatch permanent ^/?galleries/gal01.html http://www.domain.com/newgalleries/gal01/
RedirectMatch permanent ^/?galleries/gal02.html http://www.domain.com/newgalleries/gal02/

Eh? That's not what you asked for.. So are the pages still going to exist or are they gone for good? If you just want to redirect to the main page, I'd just do it as a 404. Maybe you could do a redirect to pass on any link juice that were going to the galleries, might be worth it.. On the other hand you might also transfer the anchor text which might not be good for the main page.. Once the SEs figure out that those pages no longer exist, they might just discount all those links anyway. IMO it would be better to just 404 them if you're just wanting to get rid of them.
