Manchester Art Gallery is part of Manchester City Galleries, a department of Manchester City Council. We operate four venues in and around the city:

• Manchester Art Gallery
• The Gallery of Costume
• Heaton Hall
• Wythenshawe Hall

We care for the city’s internationally renowned and designated collections of fine art, decorative art and costume, see history of the collections for more information. We also run an ambitious programme of temporary exhibitions and displays, public events and education programmes.

Manchester City Galleries is the lead organisation of the North West Museums Hub, part of a national framework set up by Government through the Renaissance in the Regions programme, to develop centres of excellence for museums and audiences.
