Description
Manchester Art Gallery, formerly Manchester City Art Gallery is a publicly owned art museum on Mosley Street in Manchester city centre. The gallery was designed by Sir Charles Barry in 1823.
This was his first major civil commission and came when he won a competition to design the new Royal Manchester Institution (1824–35) for the promotion of Literature, Science & Arts (now part of the Manchester Art Gallery), in Greek revival style, the only public building by Barry in that style.
