Best Arts and Culture Places in Kinder Scout

"Manchester Art Gallery is the original useful museum, started in 1823 by artists, as an educational institution to make sure that the city and all its people grow with creativity, imagination, productivity, and health. It is free and open to all people as a place of civic thinking and public imagination, it promotes art as a means to achieve social change. It has been at the centre of city life for almost 200 years, created as the Royal Manchester Institution for the Promotion of Literature, Science and the Arts."

"There is so much amazing street art in the city and some of the works are really Instagrammable. Some of my favourite paintings were the one of Arya Stark and, of course, Eleven from the Stranger Things. Some other street art in Manchester that I loved included these works in the photos below."

"In Trafford, you will find a striking building that is specifically designed to leave all visitors slightly uneasy and assist them to process all the feelings that conflicts and war can evoke – the building lies on a former bomb site. The main exhibitions chart all the wars that have affected Britain since the First World War. Taxis in Manchester are here to help you avoid missing out the Big Picture Show – a blend of film and photographs."

"Another grand old building that a lucky few can get wed inside, John Rylands is still in use as a functioning library (as part of the University of Manchester library), although many visitors come simply to admire the architecture. The building is actually a vast memorial to the late John Rylands, conceived by his wife and designed by Basil Champneys. Similar in style to the Town Hall, this is another example of neo-Gothic architecture that is revered worldwide."

"For those who set eyes on Deansgate's The John Rylands Library for the first time, 'library' might not be the first word that comes to mind. This masterpiece of Victorian Gothic architecture looks more like a castle or cathedral. The library's collection includes the oldest known piece of the New Testament, the St John Fragment, as well as magnificent illuminated medieval manuscripts and a 1476 William Caxton edition of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales."
