The Manchester Art Gallery is publicly owned and situated on Mosley Street. The venue opened in 1824 and currently occupies three buildings, the oldest being Grade I listed. The gallery is open every day and has late night opening on a Thursday where art is accompanied by food, drink and live music. The gallery is home to an extensive civil art collection which includes important local work. This includes several works by French impressionist Pierre Adolphe Valette who taught and created works of art in Manchester at the start of the 20th century. His work depicts scenes of a foggy Manchester and the city’s canals.

Museum of Science & Industry

The MOSI is situated on Liverpool Rd, close to Manchester city centre, first opening at this site in 1983. The aim of the MOSI is to be recognised internationally for its exploration of how science and industry help to sustain a modern society. The museum has an array of different collections ranging from obscure manufacturing implements to everyday domestic instruments that most people will be familiar with. The venue uses the collections to tell the ‘story’ of Manchester as the world’s first industrial city – and utilises objects that were used in or made in the local area. The museum also collects items from the modern day, so it will be able to inform future generations of how we live now.
