O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: Galerija hrani več kot 8.000 umetnin, ki zajemajo 800 let, od srednjeveških oltarnih slik do sodobnih video instalacij. Njen osrednji del je dih jemajoče marmorno stopnišče, obloženo z viktorijanskimi oljnimi slikami in okronano z osupljivo strešno okno iz vitraža.
Poudarki: Na zgornjem nadstropju je skrit prostor, posvečen Jacobu Kramerju, judovskemu umetniku iz Leedsa, čigar drzni, kotasti portreti zajemajo priseljenske skupnosti mesta iz zgodnjega 20. stoletja z osupljivo čustveno intenzivnostjo. Galerija hrani tudi prvo javno naročilo Henryja Moora, srhljivo skulpturo iz brestovega lesa iz leta 1939 z naslovom "Ležeča figura", ki jo je izrezljal takoj po tem, ko je njegovo domače mesto Castleford utrpelo uničujoča vojna bombardiranja.
Notranji nasveti
- 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.
