    The Walker Art Gallery is one of my favourite art venues. Wonderful collections - especially classical statutes and Victorian paintings. The building itself is fabulous. The children's gallery (Big Art) is great and the coffee is very good too. AND it's free(but please donate!)
  • By Amanda Fletcher
    Wonderful gallery. We went into the Charles Rennie Mackintosh exhibition ( ticket required , online or in gift shop). Well worth a visit. Beautifully presented and very interesting to read all of the history behind the man. Lots of lovely gifts in the shop based on his designs.
