O atrakciji

Brze činjenice: Dom za preko 55.000 umetničkih dela uključujući tekstil, tapete i likovnu umetnost, zbirka obuhvata sve od grafika iz 15. veka do savremene skulpture. Lepi kafić Umetničke galerije služi odličnu hranu dok pruža pogled na travnjak za kroket i park.

Istaknuto: Stakleni dodatak doslovno uvodi park unutra: prepoznatljivo krilo galerije obavija stablo kedra staro 200 godina, čineći ga delom zgrade. U sunčanim danima, čitav prostor se ispunjava zelenom svetlošću filtriranom kroz krošnju drveta na umetnička dela ispod.

Insajderski saveti

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.
