At Whitworth Art Gallery, you can see historic art collections lie side by side with modern pieces. The gallery is also home to a predominant collection of prints, wallpaper and the most comprehensive collection of flat textiles outside of London. At the Manchester Gallery you will find a beautiful collection of Pre-Raphaelite and Impressionist art.
For something more contemporary, the Castlefield Gallery is run by artists and showcases conceptual pieces by emerging talent. The International 3 is another independent gallery with a focus on conceptual art. Both galleries are great examples of the creative community and innovative vision that Manchester's art scene is famous for.
Serious art lovers may wish to take a tour of the city's art galleries, or bring home an artistic piece of Manchester with them.
