Walker Gallery & Word Museum Of Liverpool

The sculpture gallery contains about 120 works of sculpture from the Walker Art Gallery's permanent collection. The display focuses on European sculpture dating from the 18th century to the First World War, or from the high period of neo-classicism to the era of the 'New Sculpture' in Britain.

The museum houses nearly 300 mounted mammals, including complete mounts, game heads and mounted skulls, horns and antlers. These include a Lord Derby's Eland, named after our founder, the 13th Earl of Derby. This is the largest antelope species and our specimen is nearly two metres high at the shoulder. It is currently on display in the Museum of Liverpool. We also have a few mounted mammals from Lord Derby's Aviary and Menagerie at Knowsley, including three Australian Echidnas who lived there in the 1840s. These are primitive egg-laying mammals.
