WALKER ART GALLERY. 



The work of the Gallery during the past year has been characterized 

 by much activity : all the available resources of the Institution having 

 been in operation for the furtherance of the Art Education of the public. 



In the Spring the rooms containing the Permanent Collection were 

 thoroughly cleaned and coloured, the Curator taking advantage of this 

 opportunity to examine the condition of the Works of Art, and to effect 

 such renovations in picture frames, &c., as were found necessary. A 

 complete re-arrangement of the pictures was made, with the result, it is 

 believed, that the collection never before showed to such advantage. 



The rooms of the extension vacated by the closing of the Autumn 

 Exhibition in December were profitably utilized by letting them to the 

 Dore Gallery Company (Limited) for a period of seven months, for an 

 Exhibition of Dore's Works. The Exhibition proved a great success,
