Gallery Skoufa

Advantages: Wonderful paintings

...Today, as I walked up Pall Mall, I could have easily walked into the National Gallery through a small entrance in The Sainsbury wing, (a part of the gallery). However, I wanted to walk further to see how the pigeons were surviving in Trafalgar Square, I can assure you they are fine. So a message to the mayor up-----------up –--------- and away. I don’t think so, the pigeons stay. Pigeon feeding is still allowed in front of the National Gallery, it is allowed although you may be told not to do it by the gallery staff. You are not allowed to feed the pigeons in the actual square but they are fed early in the morning each day.

...The Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool boasts one of the largest art collections in England. My 12 year old niece chose this as a venue for a day out in the school holidays. It had been some years since I visited previously and I had quite forgotton just how impressive it is. We had a lovely (and tiring) day and my niece returned home inspired. As you approach the gallery situated on William Brown Street, you are struck by the sheer grandeur of the gallery and its neighbouring buildings. William Brown street is the only street in Great Britain to contain nothing but than Museums, Galleries and Libraries. Directly outside the Walker Art Gallery is the grand Steble fountain , a circular stone basin with a bronze centrepiece depicting the four seasons – a good photo opportunity. The Walker Art Gallery has a neo-classical façade... Read review
