Barber Institute of Fine ArtsPraised by
as 'one of the finest small art galleries in
Europe', the vivid red walls of the enchanting Barber Institute of
Fine Arts are adorned with some of the most celebrated art from the
13th to 20th centuries. Browsing the robust artworks, visitors are
treated to the timeless talents of the old masters and modern
pioneers such as Monet, Manet, Gauguin, Van Gogh and Degas.
Offering a fascinating collection of paintings, drawings, prints
and sculptures, history enthusiasts can also venture into a bygone
age at the coin gallery, which hosts one of Europe's finest
collections of Byzantine coins. The Barber Institute's Gallery Shop
is a worthy stopover for some souvenirs and gallery-related
literature.
