Manchester Art Gallery is home to more than 25,000 works of fine and decorative art, spread over three floors.
The museum's civic role is reflected in the collections. A seam of local craftsmanship and influence runs through the galleries, forming a dialogue with continental works and those of national significance. Since being substantially extended in 2002 the museum occupies three buildings, including the Neoclassical Royal Manchester Institution, designed by Charles Barry in 1824.
Look out for The Wild Escape at museums and galleries in the next few months. Many have special events, or you can use our audio introduction to help children get involved at any cultural venue.
Visiting with children?
Use our audio introduction to inspire a visit to any museum, gallery or historic house local to you. Then, just send us your child’s animal artwork when it's finished and we'll add it to the epic collective artwork that launches on Earth Day 2023.
The more you see, the more we do.
The National Art Pass lets you enjoy free entry to hundreds of museums, galleries and historic places across the UK, while raising money to support them.
