Available for over a year
One of LS Lowry's most famous paintings has gone on display at Birkenhead’s Williamson Art Gallery & Museum. Going to the Match, painted in 1953, is arguably the best-known and most popular work by the artist. Although he painted other football-themed scenes, Going to the Match has become iconic as an enduring representation of what matchday means to fans. The painting has left its home at The Lowry in Salford and is on a tour of five venues in the North West of England.
