What a fabulous building, great architecture inside and out. Has some beautiful door detailing and splendid windows. Free to visit, donations welcome. Shop. Lift to floors. Well looked after with varied collections on display, something for everyone. Welcoming, helpful chap at reception.
Didn't know this existed until visiting Fusilier museum opposite. Big shop, modern exhibition, school days exhibit. Family history/archives? Big spaces, sculptures and paintings. Cafe closed when we were there.
We had an event last night at the Art Museum which was a triumph. The staff went over and above to make it a success. We are so fortunate to have such a beautiful building filled with great exhibitions. It has a warm atmosphere and a real community feel. I can highly recommend it for your next event. Steve Walton was so helpful. Thanks to the whole team.
Excellent museum with many fascinating artefacts and information about Bury and the local areas rich history. Some wonderful artworks in the galleries. There are clearly many events and activities that also take place in this attractive building. All this and it's free entrance though donations are most welcome.
Nice place, I took a service user with dementia and we had a wander round. It has some interesting things to look at although it is a bit sparse. The museum bit downstairs is good, there is a bit more to look at there. I have nothing to complain about though as it is free. The cafe is very nice and worth popping in to.
