Leeds Art Gallery
Najbolje vrijeme za posjet
Weekday mornings around 10-11am are wonderfully quiet, giving you space to really study the paintings without crowds. The stained-glass skylight casts its most dramatic light across the marble staircase between 11am and 2pm on sunny days.

O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Galerija sadrži više od 8.000 umjetničkih djela koja obuhvaćaju 800 godina, od srednjovjekovnih oltarnih slika do suvremenih video instalacija. Njezin središnji dio je zadivljujuće mramorno stubište obloženo viktorijanskim uljanim slikama i okrunjeno prekrasnim staklenim krovnim svjetlom.
Istaknuto: Skrivena na gornjem katu je soba posvećena Jacobu Krameru, židovskom umjetniku rođenom u Leedsu čiji odvažni, uglati portreti s upečatljivom emocionalnom intenzivnošću prikazuju useljeničke zajednice grada s početka 20. stoljeća. Galerija također čuva prvu javnu narudžbu Henryja Moorea, sablasnu skulpturu od brijestovog drveta iz 1939. godine pod nazivom "Ležeća figura" koju je isklesao neposredno nakon što je njegov rodni grad Castleford pretrpio razorna ratna bombardiranja.
Insajderski savjeti
- Head straight to the back staircase first, it's a jaw-dropping Victorian marble masterpiece that most visitors miss on their way in.
- The ground floor contemporary galleries rotate frequently, so check what's showing before you visit.
- Pop next door to the Henry Moore Institute (also free) afterward for modern sculpture in a sleek contrast to the Victorian building.
- Photography without flash is allowed throughout, so bring a camera for the staircase and stained glass.
