Williamson Art Gallery & Museum is minutes from the heart of Birkenhead, on the
edge of Oxton village. We opened to the public in 1928. The Williamson Art
Gallery & Museum was funded through Birkenhead Borough Council by the
philanthropists John Williamson, a Director of the Cunard Steamship Company Ltd,
and his son Patrick Williamson. Find out more about our history. Our gallery
