O znamenitosti

Hitre informacije: Z domom za več kot 55.000 umetniških del, vključno s tekstilom, tapetami in likovno umetnostjo, zbirka obsega vse od tiskov iz 15. stoletja do sodobnega kiparstva. Lepa kavarna v stavbi galerije streže odlično hrano s pogledom na travnik za kroket in park.

Poudarki: Stekleni prizidek dobesedno prinaša park v notranjost: izrazito krilo galerije se ovije okoli 200 let stare cedre, kar jo naredi del stavbe. Ob sončnih dneh celoten prostor preplavi zelena svetloba, filtrirana skozi krošnjo drevesa na umetniška dela spodaj.

Notranji nasveti

Head to the back of the gallery first on busy days: the main hall draws crowds but the rear galleries are often nearly empty.
The walled garden and orchard behind the gallery are lovely for a peaceful picnic away from the cafe queue.
Sundays are noticeably busier with families, so aim for Tuesday through Friday for a calmer visit.
Don't skip the textile collection: it's one of the best in Britain and housed in a stunning light-filled gallery.
