About this audio guide
This guide to the Victoria Art Gallery in Bath begins with a jubilee gift whose dates and money refuse to line up, and then turns to the hands that actually made the building. You'll meet a Scottish architect, an Italian-named sculptor, the women of Bath and a local collector whose gift became the gallery's best-loved picture. Best heard on Bridge Street, looking up at the queen in her niche.
