Bury Art Museum, Art museum in Bury, England.

The museum occupies a red brick building with a prominent stone staircase, mosaic floors, and first-floor galleries connected by original stained glass installations.

Thomas Wrigley donated over 200 paintings, watercolors, prints, and ceramics in 1897 to establish the museum for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee celebration.

The collection includes works by Turner, Constable, and Landseer, along with contemporary pieces from the twenty-first century displayed in rotating exhibitions.

The museum combines art galleries, archives, and educational spaces under one roof following a major renovation completed in 2005.

Manchester architects Woodhouse and Willoughby designed the Grade II listed structure after winning a competition in 1897.
