Description
Here you’ll find everything from fine art to a Levi jeans chair. Manchester Art Gallery’s world class collection spans six centuries and contains over 25,000 items.
Winner of Large Visitor Attraction of the Year 2008 in the Manchester Tourism Awards and shortlisted for the Guardian Family Friendly Award, Manchester Art Gallery has something for everyone.
Regularly changing exhibitions, an award winning cafe and a gallery shop mean that you can pop in for 10 minutes, or spend a whole day there. You don’t have to like everything inside. And you don’t need to be an expert to enjoy a visit.
Manchester Art Gallery. Enjoy. Discover. Relax.
