BiographyHistory

Ann E Galbally in her biography of Lindsay Bernard Hall in the Australian Dictionary of Biography Online, describes Hall as an '... artist, teacher and gallery director, ... born on 28 December 1859 at Garston, Liverpool, England, son of Lindsay Hall, a broker of Scottish descent, and his wife Emily Margaret, née Brugheer Herrmann. Bernard was brought up in an affluent, well-educated, cultured circle. He was educated at Kensington Grammar School, London, and Cheltenham College.'

Hall was appointed director of the National Gallery of Victoria and head of the Art School in 1891. He arrived in Melbourne, Victoria, in 1892 to take up the appointment.

In February 1934 he returned to London to take up the post of buyer of works of art for the National Gallery of Victoria.
