MANCHESTER ART GALLERY
Whether you’ve got 10 minutes, all day, are on your own or have the children with you, come in. You don’t have to like everything inside. And you don’t need to be an expert to enjoy a visit.
Our collection is made up of fine art (paintings, drawings and sculpture) and decorative art – from ancient pottery to 21st century furniture. We’re probably most famous for our Pre-Raphaelite paintings but all periods are covered, including what’s happening now. Relax in our award-winning café and visit the gallery shop for items inspired by our collection.
