28 July 2013: We visited Wakefield to see the Barbara Hepworth gallery - designed by David Chipperfield. This is largely in in-situ concrete (of exceptional quality) and is situated over the river Calder, south of the city centre.
All the main displays are on one level, and most of the lower floor is for conservation and storage areas.
Most people approach the gallery from the north, on the footbridge over the Calder.
The windows are organised to give the best views with seemingly frameless fixing of the glass.
