Lonely Planet review for Walker Art Gallery
Liquid brown eyes, luscious long hair and an enigmatic smile... No, we're not talking George Harrison circa 1965 - we're talking about all those Pre-Raphaelite beauties on show at Liverpool's superb Walker Art Gallery. Visual treats include Rossetti's Dante's Dream, Millais' Lorenzo & Isabella and Holman Hunt's The Awakening Conscience.
Other classic Victoriana includes Lord Leighton's Perseus & Andromeda and WF Yeames' And when did you last see your father? The gallery also has an important collection of Italian, Flemish and Impressionist artworks, and more recent icons include Hockney's much-copied Peter getting out of Nick's pool. The Liverpool Museum next door offers standard archaeology, natural history and planetarium fare.
