Grundy Art Gallery
A municipal art gallery opened in 1911, with Victorian and 20th-century British paintings and contemporary art exhibitions; free admission.
The Grundy Art Gallery was built with a collection donated by the local Grundy brothers. It is a compact Edwardian building. The permanent collection includes 19th- and 20th-century British oil paintings, watercolours and jewellery. In recent years it has become known for curating contemporary art exhibitions and light art projects linked to the Illuminations. It's modest in size, so allow about 45 minutes. Admission is free, and it is usually closed on Sundays and Mondays. It sits in the city centre on Queen Street, about a 5-minute walk from North Pier.
