This gallery is just what it says it is: a gallery...

This gallery is just what it says it is: a gallery of portraits and what a wonderful collection it is! Formal, informal, funny and just a bit weird all styles are represented. There is just so much to see, and because of that it is very easy to become overwhelmed. All pictures are well displayed and the rooms are sympathetically lit. Unless you are on a real mission I would suggest dipping in and out of this gallery, perhaps spend an hour or two at the most then come back another day to see more.
This visit there was the BP portrait exhibition showcasing more contemporary works and like the gallery itself it was free to enter. This is a great way to spend a couple of hours. However, I would say it's not really the place for young children.
