Excellent place to visit with knowledgeable and helpful staff. There is always lots exhibitions on some permanent some temporary.At the moment the Tudors art exhibition is on show and it is so breathtaking it has to be seen to be believed just how good it is. All that history and spectacular paintings under one roof how privileged i was to see it. There is also a lovely cafe and souvenir shop on sight.

Home to some fantastic treasures. Wide range of art including paintings and sculptures on display. Some classic paintings such as Lowrys along with some recent pieces too. In addition to this, the building is well maintained both inside and out, staffed by welcoming people! There is a cafe and restrooms inside along with some items to purchase but admission to the gallery is free.

Really wonderful gallery - so many paintings - and some interesting features. If you love paintings it’s well worth a visit. I was very impressed and shocked by the slaves’ shackles in the classical sculpture gallery and appreciated the group who had made the intervention, and if they read this, I would have appreciated even more information and context.

Visited the Walker Art Gallery Liverpool on a very wet Friday afternoon whilst u had a few hour's free. I haven't been to this gallery in over 20 years so I thought it was about time I went again. I wasn't disappointed, the Walker is not only a beautiful building bit the various forms of artwork , paintings , sculptures and other antiquities are stunning beautiful. There's classical sculpture and contemporary art. There's so much to see you'd need a whole day to absorb and study the art works. I'll definitely go back and soon as I didn't spend long enough there. Its a free gallery although they're are some exhibitions you have to pay to see I think. If you're in Liverpool put the Walker on your list of must see places. 👍🏻

I am writing this critic while sitting inside of the art gallery, enjoying my capuccino and my marble slice of cake. Right at the center of the entrance, I have a precious view of some statues and the staircase making it the perfect place to rest a little and eat what I ordered. The art gallery is beautiful and has plenty of art works to see from different eras and artistic styles. It is clean, well organised and the structure of the expositions makes sense aesthetically. I would advice anyone to come visit because it is free, but also pretty calm and has a lot of cool small details that are worth seeing. From the Roman sculptures to the 18th century paintings, you can have two hours of peace and quiet among art and beauty. I am seeing some families here with well behaved kids, but I wouldn't advice you to bring your kids if they get bored easily or throw tantrums ... This ambience asks for serenity and elegance. Overall, is one of my (free entrance) favourite places to see and go in Liverpool.

This is a fabulous art space, BUT.....the only picture in room 7 painted by a woman, is high up, glass protected and very poorly displayed. You need to get your act together Walker Art Gallery. Be a bit more New York Met.

Fabulous collection of sculptures and paintings of various genres and ages including Lowry, Freud, Rossetti and a plethora of others. Fabulous display,great staff, great building.

For years it's been my favourite museum in Liverpool, and there are few really good ones! Impressive collection of the Pre-Raphaelites.

Such a beautiful place to visit while in Liverpool. The staff was brilliant. They welcomed me with a big smile and assisted me with the locker situation. The collections were not as extensive as what a museum would be, but it was absolutely wonderful.

Really enjoyed wandering around here. Beautiful art in an amazing historic building. All for free entry! It's very close to Lime Street station so ideal if you have some time to spend either side of your journey to/from the city. The cafe was good too. We were lucky and found a parking space on the road outside (pay at the meter or by phone/internet) but otherwise you are looking at one of the city car parks if travelling by car.

Absolutely amazing art gallery. So many nice paintings. Not too busy and clean. Will visit again.

Absolute proof that there's a lot more to Liverpool than the Fab Four. This gallery is a wonder. Amazing architecture filled with some truly inspirating artworks. The sculpture room is just mindblowing and so photogenic. Stop for a cake and a drink in between galleries and help support the building too. Definitely recommended!

Ok five stars even though we did not have a huge amount of time to investigate. Stunning building......surounded by several other equally stunning buildings, friendly staff, some really interesting rooms, check out sculpture room on the first floor. Football exhibition was thought provoking and, for an oldie, funny....Oh the things we used to wear. A real mix of art from dresses to some modern stuff, I am not sure I got....but that is the point I think. Art is what you make of it. There is some parking out from but Liverpool is easy to get around and as far as I am aware access insode the building is ok. My lad said the cafe was grand and I trust him on food any day....and we met the author of one of the book on sale in the foyer....He was great! We could have spent hours but not our lad.....a little art goes a long way with him.

Superb even if you only sample free collection. Gems like the Albert Richards for instance. But check out the Bomberg and John Minton offering here. Some lush late Victorian nudes amongst statuary. But invest in Sickert exhibition. Well worth it.

I feel so creatively inspired after my visit here Such a special Art gallery

Thoroughly enjoyed my walk around the Walker Gallery. Examining both sculptures and paintings reminded me of the expression, "out of sight, out of mind". Why? It's easy to forget how a beautiful piece of artwork makes you feel. Standing before the pieces you especially appreciate, you can't stop thinking about the skills of the artist, and wishing this sort of art be on display wherever you go, and not locked up in a building in a corner of the city for you to eventually forget about again.

Loved the Walker Gallery, lots to see took 3 hours to fully look round. Well worth the visit.

Go see the Sickert show but do it in reverse order. See his later works first and work your way back to his youth. The later works are more interesting, subjects from newspapers, gridwork visible through his painting, fascinating to see how he constructed his paintings from sketches, all done according to a grid. It was better than I thought is was going to be.

Very nice way to while away some time. Interesting array of art, although as most of the paintings were behind glass it was tricky to see the higher up one's. Donations are encouraged on a give what you can basis. Art is for all and should be enjoyed even of you can't afford to donate. Pleasant experience, and worthy of a visit if on the city..

Great place , lots of free stuff to see, also has paid exhibits , well worth a visit

Beautiful art gallery in Liverpool, worth visiting

Entry is free and there was so much to see and enjoy from renaissance to contemporary pieces. They have a great collection of sculptures and casts too. Absolutely worth a visit.

I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this museum. I’m more of a fan of Renaissance art (of which the exhibit was sadly closed) but the collection of 19th century and pre-Raphaelite and Raphaelite art is fantastic. Also I really enjoyed how, in the ground floor sculpture gallery, some of the 19th century pieces were counter displayed with the slavery history that supported this extravagance. The gallery wasn’t very crowded either. And for free! Winner!

It's great. Jam packed of history and nice looking art. Receptionist are very nice. Lots of satire images of Trump which was very enjoyable. Also quite interactive with some art pieces as they are protected with wax or something.

Beautiful free museum focusing on art from the region. The staff are all very helpful. A gift shop with thoughtful items is also present, as well as a cafe.

Beautiful museum with historic art and century old paintings! A must visit! Very near liver pool lime street

Wonderful art gallery, some amazing paintings and sculptures. There was an exhibition on football terrace culture on when I took my grandson there it was really interesting and brought back a lot of memories.

Very well presented mix of old and new styles of painting and the temporary exhibitions are always good. If you're quick the Football Casuals exhibition is well worth a visit.

Really pleasant experience in the Walker art gallery. Free entrance and friendly staff on hand for guidance. Many rooms with artworks of Pre Raphaelite era and modern pieces. Well worth a visit and cafeteria on the ground floor.

Lovely gallery and the kids were free to get in. I went to see the latest Tom Wood photography exhibition (which is a must see). All the staff were very helpful and were busy but not too crazy. Really lovely gallery and I cant wait to go back.

Great gallery and an amazing Linda McCartney exhibit.

Such an interesting place. Great one off exhibitions. Particularly the most recent 'An English Lady's Wardrobe' and previous to that 'The Terracotta Warriors'. Worth travelling from Leeds to see. Great cafe with cakes ! ?

Clean,well organised, fab exhibition.

Really good collection of art pieces. There is an incredible young kids play area too with toys, colouring, glueing and dressing up corner. All free to use. Great way to get the kids out and into arts and craft

Fantastic gallery with excellent facilities, coffee shop good for tea/coffee or a light lunch. The gallery has a great permanent collection of art & sculpture, with paintings dating from renaissance era up to the current John Moore’s painting prize. With an excellent rotation of temporary exhibitions, repeat visits are a must! The temporary collection of an ‘English Ladies Wardrobe’ is a must see whilst still on.

So called social distancing and apparent regulated access didn't work. Sad ...

A 'not to miss' Art Gallery in the heart of this great city. Very helpful staff. The 'English Lady Wardrobe' exhibition was excellent, don't miss it! The café was friendly and a reasonable choice of food. Good coffee too which is most important!

An excellent gallery filled with art from a variety of time periods. The Walker gallery has one of the largest collections outside of london; filled with phenomenal paintings, sculptures and other mediums that will inspire and enthuse.

Worth a visit if you're in Liverpool. Small museum compared museums with some impressive paintings. The inside of the building is beautiful.

Very spacious rooms filled with all different kinds of art from old to modern. Free entrance with donations if you wish. A very interesting place.

Varied exhibits, nice little cafe ...

I love the Walker and everything they're doing to facilitate visitors during Covid is great

Fantastic place

A good collection of Georgian and Victorian art. Many GF Watts and pre-raphaelite paintings. Great collection of neoclassical sculptures.

Beautiful exhibition

Brilliant

Enjoyed Linda McCartney retrospective

Great gallery with some amazing paintings inside. Looking forward to going back again

Always a pleasure to visit. Remember to book your time slot. A great day out.

Go, go, go to the Linda McCartney exhibition. Don your mask and relive the glory days of the Beatles, Abbey Road, Mull and Martha. It's a treat.

Fabulous art gallery .. the building is phenomenal and the artwork is really fascinating.

(Translated by Google) The gallery is really beautiful! I loved! I really enjoyed it very much. Very friendly place staff. Lots of art to see. It is big and to travel with time. Safety pin. (Original) La galería es realmente preciosa! Me encantó! Realmente lo disfruté mucho. Muy amable el personal del lugar. Mucho arte para ver. Es grande y para recorrer con tiempo. Imperdible.

All good and open again

Great range of art, nice walk around on a day out.

Disappointed that all Gallery not open, rooms 1-4 closed for refurbishment. But John Moore painting prize exhibit made up for it. Will return to see other rooms. Good shop with friendly staff.

Always a pleasure to visit and free.

Beautiful works of art.

It's very interesting and lots of lovely art work to see. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful

Fantastic place to spend a couple of hours. Can't recommend it enough.

Fabulous gallery, some great modern art and old stuff too. Lowry's on display as well. Very helpful museum chap on 1st floor, thank you.

Really love walking around this gallery. It really has some wonderful displays. The gallery is clean, bright and generally quiet unless you come on a day when the local schools come. If that happens it gets very lively and lovely to see how the displays capture the imagination of the young ones. A range of eras and styles are displayed here and is well worth a visit. The coffee shop is always busy, I've never had anything from there so I can't comment on that. Can not wait to go back again ?

Just a great place to visit art is fabulous

Fantastic gallery and loved the clothes exhibition

A real treasure and treat . Fabulous

Love Liverpool. All art is free to enter (and museums). I go there for the culture

I'm not an art expert but the Walker Art Gallery is well worth a visit. It has one of the largest art collections outside of London.

There's a vast, high quality collection of art in the Walker. We're so lucky to have this facility in our city.

The best art gallery in the country excluding London

Beautiful art always love to have a wonder around here every so often

Family friendly, statues great and there's interactive play for younger one but the "art" was very questionable

Excellent collection of art works

Excellent for all ages. They suggest a donation to help keep the place open but do not demand one or pressure you to make one.

Wow if you need a day out go along such a lovely interesting day

Nice gallery some lovely examples of art from different eras. Good lighting, nice cafe and staff very helpful .

Been here before; loved it then, couple of galleries closed for refurb this time, but still good selection of artworks across the ages

Nice modern art gallery, close to my heart

Fabulous went to sickert exhibition, the amount of work there is amazing!! Cafe could do with having more choice tho.

very big art gallery with loads to see and enjoys whole afternoon there.

Absolutely Magnificent But Unfortunate That Modern Art Is Here But Fantastic Without It Just Walking Here. Is Alredy Nice Great Great…

Went to see the Walter Sickert Exhibition. What a great achievement to get his works under one roof. Well worth a visit.

Beautiful building and so much packed inside, don't think we had time to see it all. Great place to go when weather isn't so good.

Travelling from London with a great excuse to the the marvellously presented Sickert exhibition and enjoy the gallery again. It truly does have some excellent pieces in its various rooms. There is always plenty of space to move and masks are observed without a request, but that’s Liverpool, nice, friendly and polite. The little cafe served choice cakes and coffee, plus homemade Scouse and soup. It’s easy to spend many hours there wandering and enjoy the place as there is so much to see of all sorts of wonderful things.

A traditional museum complementary to the modern counterparts in the Docks. The arts and crafts area is lovely.

So many marble peeps! A good size room with great displays you can really walk right up to and take in. The detail, artistic talents, and beauty are enough to spend a good bit in there admiring the sculptures. The art is great, a good collection for Liverpool, and worth a visit next time you're in the mood for some art.

A wonderful gallery with a range of artist exhibited. My main interest was the artist Walter Sickert. It was a very good exibition with lots of timelines and history to explain his paintings.

A fantastic place for art lovers! Very close to Lime Street Station and on the sightseeing tour bus route. There's a cafe and gift shop. Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely. Really good. And lockers so don't have to drag bags round.

What a fascinating place to spend an afternoon exploring an amazing collection of artworks that have been collected since the mid 1800s. There are some Turner's a Monet and several Lowry paintings. The craft area was great and loved the Victorian room. Then chill at the Cafe with good coffee and piece offf cakes.

A really enjoyable few hours, the paintings and sculptures were impressive. The clothing exhibition, well, if you love art deco, the dresses are beautiful, the detail was amazing. It was lovely to see school children enjoying themselves, drawing their favourite pieces. Great way to spend the afternoon.

Very interesting gallery recommend 2 visit ♥️

Fabulous exhibition on Tudors. Amazing to have all those paintings together chronicling the well known and, for me, the unknown characters lives from the Tudor Dynasty.

I love the Walker Art Gallery! Home to some exquisite Pre-Raphaelite paintings, my personal favourites. Thoroughly recommend that this gallery is on your Liverpool to do list.

Beautiful gallery. Cafe had a good atmosphere, with tasty food and drinks. Served fresh food and loose leaf tea. They were a little bit pricey but that's to be expected!

A brilliant gallery with a variety of exhibitions throughout the year. The current Tom Wood Photie Man show is incredible. We spent about 1.5 hours walking through.

Always an amazing couple of hours spent at the Walker Art Gallery. We sat and appreciated The Triumph of Fortitude Tapestry this time around, picking out a new detail each time and admiring the exquisite weaving and storytelling.

The Walker Art Gallery - A stunning place where Art is brought to life What is the Walker Art Gallery? The Walker Art Gallery is an Art Gallery that is located in the heart of Liverpool. It is set in a beautiful historical building that holds numerous Exhibitions and displays that take place throughout the year. Exhibitions Photie Man: 50 Years of Tom Wood Who is Tom Wood? Tom Wood born in 1951 is a celebrated artist who has redefined the way that we think about photography in Britain. This Exhibition showcases work from his archive from the 1970s to the present day. There is a great variety of photographs on display from portraits to beautiful landscapes. Most of his work was made in Liverpool and Merseyside. He lived there from 1978 to 2003. The Exhibition This Exhibition was well presented in that each room within the Gallery represented a different decade of his work. You witnessed how he would take black and white photographs to which this then developed over time by using different cameras with colour. His photographs are spectacular in the level of detail. In addition, Tom created unique relationships with the people that he took photos with. It was also brilliantly executed with a range of issues that was exquisitely shown through his work. His work dealt with multiple issues from relationships, families, the night life, New Brighton, the markets, the ship yard, football and more. Over more the Exhibition was not just simply masses of photographs but it was also interesting and engaging with written information and video footage of his work. It truly brought his photography to life in awe-inspiring ways. Highlights The main highlights from the exhibition were as follows: Tom Wood’s Looking for Love series where he took intimate photos from the Chelsea Reach Nightclub in New Brighton. Through these photos you gained an insight of relationships between people that would meet at that nightclub. Another highlight was when he would take photos of people on bus journeys. This was done through his Bus Series ‘Zones All Of Peak’. In addition he conveyed the atmosphere of fans at football stadiums both at Goodison and Anfield grounds via his photos whilst attending matches. Entry and Pricing Entry to the Photie Man exhibition requires you to book a time slot ticket online which you will need to pay too. Attendance to the collections at the gallery is free of charge.

Went to have a look at the 2023 John Moores prize. Great quality and variety of pictures this year.

Lovely building, very interesting art collection. Nice cafe and shop.

A delightful collection of sculpture, fine and decorative art from medieval to modern day. Permanent and special exhibits. Free entry with a charge for special exhibits (donation boxes available for cash and also contactless card stations, too)

I utterly adore this place. The sculpture room is worth the trip alone. This time I saw the John Moore painting prize exhibition and there was so much great stuff, I could have happily stayed there all day.

I took my 3 year old granddaughter there last week. The staff in the cafe were very helpful and brought food to my table. In the main gallery, one employee suggested room 7 as many pictures there had dogs and my 3 year old could focus on counting them - a brilliant tip. There is a fantastic room for children downstairs. Everywhere very clean. Staff friendly and helpful. Carrot and lentil soup best ever. Will be returning

Love this gallery. Always interesting exhibitions to see. This visit was to see the 2023 John Moores exhibits.

Visited midweek. Very hospitable lady on reception. Accessible Bathroom and flooring throughout the Gallery ideal for a wheelchair. Plenty of space to view the Artwork and displays. Vibrant Cafe on site. Even offered an old penny to play The Nickelodeon!. Great place.

Another visit to the Walker Gallery with the family. What a great experience with two new Renaissance rooms. The sculpture room was amazing. Thoroughly enjoyable and the staff were really nice.

Pretty little gallery with some standout works from Seurat, Freud and Lowry. Definitely worth a quick visit if you're wandering through Liverpool's Greco-Roman highway.

I've been coming here for years and it remains one of my absolute favourite things to do in Liverpool. Mostly Free entry, fantastic variety of interesting exhibitions and cute cafe serving drinks , cakes, fresh sandwiches etc on the ground floor. Love the Walker, we are so lucky to have this on our doorstep. ❤️
