Manchester Art Gallery, Mosley Street, Manchester, M2 3JL – Visit Now
The Charles Barry-designed, Grade I-listed Manchester Art Gallery is one of the city’s premier-league galleries.
Manchester Art Gallery benefited from a £35m extension in 2002, ensuring that it can display an outstanding Victorian collection alongside regularly changing contemporary exhibitions. Alongside the displays is the excellent hands-on Clore Arts Studio for kids, developed by artists to offer first-rate creative endeavours such as making sculptural hideouts and regular artist-led workshops. The newly opened Fashion Gallery displays textile wonders of fine fabrics, costume and accessories.
The impressive on-site shop is open with an extensive range of new products including a brand new gallery guide, all offering ways to support the gallery while building your personal arts-related collection. The delightful Manchester Art Gallery café, run by acclaimed chef Matthew Taylor, has also reopened.
