Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool (L1)
 The Walker Art Gallery — The Walker Art Gallery, also known as "The National Gallery of the North" is located on William Brown Street which is dedicated almost entirely to Museums, Galleries and Libraries. This neo-Classical Building was designed by local architects Cornelius Sherlock and H.H. Vale during the latter part of the nineteenth century. The gallery is named after its benefactor, Sir Andrew Barclay Walker, a former Liverpool mayor and alderman, whose wealth was amassed as owner of a brewery. His generous donation of £20,000 is seen by some as a maneuver to improve his image during a period of time that the temperance movement was popular. Construction began in 1874 and the Gallery was opened three years after in September 1877 by The Earl of Delby. Within four months the Walker Art Gallery had received 324,117 visitors. Today the Gallery has one of the largest art collections in England, which is surpassed only by London. The Gallery's collection of sculpture, art and artifacts dates from the fourteenth century to the present. During the year there are viewings of art collections on loan exhibiting both the traditional and contemporary, many of which are internationally recognised. The Walker Art Gallery has also opened Big Art which is dedicated entirely to children. |
