The Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool was designed by Cornelius Sherlock and H. H. Vale. The article names no client, but the gallery is named for its founding benefactor, Sir Andrew Barclay Walker, a brewer and former mayor of Liverpool. The text gives an opening date of September 6, 1877, and the infobox lists 1877 as established, so they agree. No construction start date is given.
The article calls the style Neoclassical. It names no materials or dimensions. Extensions opened in 1884 and 1933.
During World War II the Ministry of Food took over the building and the collection was dispersed. It reopened in 1951, gained national status in 1986 and reopened after a major refurbishment in 2002. Banksy's Cardinal Sin was added in 2011. It is a public art gallery that had 258,222 visitors in 2025 and has been listed Grade II* since 1952. The article gives no hours.
