Manchester Art Gallery, previously known as the City Gallery is the largest art gallery in Manchester and houses one of the best collections in Britain. Some 12000 pieces in the Decorative Arts span many cultures and periods and glassware, metalwork, silver, porcelain and furniture can be seen here. Among the famous painters you will find a magnificent collection of Turner’s watercolours and the pre-Raphaelite collection is one the largest in the world.

The Manchester Art Gallery and the many other fascinating museums and galleries highlight Manchester's rich history, and you will find that many of the fine Manchester hotels do the same.
