Om
Hurtige fakta: Blødt naturligt lys oversvømmer gallerierne og får moderne installationer og stille historiske portrætter til at føles uventet intime. Du kan snuble over en overraskende moderne bestilling gemt bag georgiansk sten, og livlige kunstnersamtaler samt skoleprogrammer tiltrækker tusindvis af mennesker hvert år.
Højdepunkter: Træd indenfor, og du vil opdage en smal korridor med præcis 24 indrammede skitser, hver med kunstnerens blå blæknoter, luften tung af den bløde duft af papir og regnvåd sten. Personalet holder en sær tradition startet i 1998, hvor to lokale børn hver januar inviteres til at omarrangere en gallerivæg, en rituale der har produceret mere end 18 spontane miniudstillinger og et årligt fotoalbum, som frivillige giver rundt som et skattet postkort.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes, some historic floors and a few short steps can be uneven.
- Non-flash photography for personal use is often allowed, ask at reception about any restricted works.
- Head for the upper gallery and stairwell for framed views and the best natural light for photographs.
- If visiting at the weekend, arrive early or choose a weekday morning to avoid school groups and tour buses.
