Linda McCartney Retrospective at Walker Art Gallery, City Centre 8 August 2020 — 10 January 2021 Entrance is free — Visit now

The Walker Art Gallery is hosting this major retrospective of Linda McCartney’s photography. From her iconic depictions of the music scene of the 1960s, to family life with Paul, Linda captured her whole world on film.

The exhibition features more than 250 extraordinary images that reveal what a prolific photographer Linda was, and how her love for the natural world, her surreal sense of humour, and an exceptional eye for capturing the spontaneous, gave her work an inimitable style.

The exhibition includes a selection of images taken in Liverpool and on the Wirral which have never been on public display before.
