Very pleasant with some minor works and interesting bits but feels pricey. Cafe in lovely location. Also serves as the full stop at the end of Pulteney Street.

Great collection of, especially, late 18th in to the 19th century English paintings including a FAB early unfinished Lawrence of a young man. Recommended stop for art lovers. The Victoria Gallery is a mere 5 minute walk down the road too if you're into overdosing on paintings. Easy to do both in two or three hours.

To view the free Collection, go on wednesdays from 3pm to 5pm.
