Manchester Art Gallery is a free-to-view municipally-owned public art gallery in Manchester City Centre in the North West of England. The Gallery was extended by Hopkins Architects in May 2002 to take in the old Atheneaum building next door, and now occupies three buildings. One building is the Grade I listed building that was originally the Royal Manchester Institution designed by Sir Charles Barry in 1824. The gallery houses the civic art collection of Manchester. As well as art of international significance, there are many works specifically related to Manchester (especially in the CIS-sponsored Manchester Room).
