How do I get pictures off of a Galaxy Nexus from 2011?

Galaxy Nexus Pictures Question.

How do I get pictures off of a galaxy nexus from about 2011? The thing is, its my uncles last phone that he had before he passed away and I want to get the pictures off for my grandmother. The phone has been shut off for almost two years, and now whenever I go into the gallery part of the phone it says "failed to download list the list of albums, try again later". I don't know if the phone has been updated or what, I just want to do my best to get any pictures possible I can before I erase the phone. Any help is appreciated.

Welcome to Android Central! Have you tried connecting the phone to a computer via USB and exploring the DCIM/Camera folder using the computer's file explorer? Make sure the USB connection is either MTP or USB Mass Storage (sometimes also called Disk Drive).
