In concentrating on work by women, the exhibition examines the term "lady amateur," which was often used in contrast to the "professional" artist title usually reserved for males, before exploring how women pushed for greater recognition as artists, particularly in the 19th century.
Entry to the exhibition is free. For more details go to liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/anotherview.
