Bury Art Museum

Bury Art Museum is a public museum located on Moss Street in Bury, Greater Manchester, England, housed in a distinctive Edwardian-style building and managed by Bury Council. The museum was formerly known as Bury Museum and Art Gallery and was renamed in 2011.

The collection also features works by renowned artists such as J. M. W. Turner, John Constable, and Sir Edwin Henry Landseer. In 2005, the local government spent £1,200,000 on renovating the museum, adding a museum and archive centre that showcases various aspects of Bury’s local history, art, and cultural life.
