...Art Gallery, Liverpool==
The Walker Art Gallery has been standing in Liverpool for over 130 years. It is home to so many wonderful paintings -old and new-, sculptures and crafts. There is even a musical instrument made from an old toilet and some fantastic modern chairs which you are allowed to sit on! You get to experience all this and more in this wonderful art gallery, for absolutely free!
I visited the gallery with my family yesterday, Sunday ... ...a couple of hours, so the experience was fresh in my mind.
I've realised that my reviews on this are mainly make up and body products related, so I thought maybe I should review this to get them a bit more varied so there's something everyone will hopefully find interesting. Which is why I chose to review The Walker Art Gallery.

Advantages: The Art! The Architecture! Fully accessible for all! Free entry! Disadvantages: Very Tiring.
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 ... ...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 in Liverpool is one art gallery which even a non-art lover would find a pleasure to visit. The reason for this is because it is just the right size, almost perfect I would say, for someone to enjoy looking at the beautiful works of art without getting tired of having to walk through too many rooms and floors. Aside from its physical advantages, the Walker is also home to some excellent paintings and sculptures. Although it ... ...a painting which hangs on the wall at the top of the main stairs. It is a very iluminating picture of a mother and her child, the image of which, has stayed with me till this day. The little gallery shop has a wide range of postcards of the paintings that you see in there as well as other small collectibles. If you should get bored of all these painted canvases, then there is also a little tea room at which you can have some refreshments. It is a ...

Advantages: good selection Disadvantages: a bit of a long walk to get there if you are new to the area.
...I was lucky to find the Walker Gallery. It is a gem of a place and the walk to get there is well worth the effort. But, do go early and do not leave this as your last port of call when you are tired and the feet are beginning to ache. You have just got to go in because it is a gem of an art gallery. The exhibits are good enough to satisfy the art buffs and broad enough to satisfy the curiosity of those who just like art. It is a neat, quite small ...

This was the first tourist attraction i visited once i arrived at Liverpool Lime Street Train station as it only a short walk away. The building itself is very impressive and inside was no disappointment too as there was a feeling on tradition and heritage throughout it.
Inside it,you'll find a good selection of modern British Art, exhibits and many historical things to do with Liverpool. Every gallery is very clean and very well maintained with ... ...be prepared.
The great thing about this place is that It is quite compact so that you don't need to walk around all over the place to get a good feeling about the place. There are only two levels which makes it easy to get around and the cafe plus shop are bot on the ground floor. There is also a cloakroom too which is very handy if you want to walk around with less of a load. Best of all that is free too!
I have been to many galleries and i would ...
