Manchester Art Gallery

The Manchester Art Gallery on Mosley Street was established in 1882 after the Corporation of Manchester took over the building and the collections of the Royal Manchester Institution. It was designed by Sir Charles Barry (architect of the Houses of Parliament) in the Greek Revival Style and built by public subscription between 1827-34. It is now Grade One listed and houses one of the most prestigious collections of fine and decorative art in the country.

Amongst the 25,000 pieces of art on display and in storage, there are works by the pre-Raphelites, Stubbs, Constable and Turner.

Manchester Art Gallery has always been one of our dream venues for a wedding reception, ever since visiting there and enjoying a coffee and muffin in the restaurant. It truly is a unique and wonderful space which we hope you enjoy with us on our big day.
