This is a reflection of its history: the nucleus of the collection comes from the Royal Institute of Manchester, where an expression of interest in contemporary art buying continued when it became the City Art Gallery in 1883. Bradford collector Charles Rutherston presented his modern art collection to the Gallery in 1925 and important contemporary works were acquired during both World Wars, leading to to one of the most important collections of war art outside of London. Since 1945, the hold of eighteenth-century British art has been strengthened with the purchase of paintings by Thomas Gainsborough, Joshua Reynolds and George Stubbs, among others. In 1979, the European Old Masters Collection was adapted by Assheton Bennett with almost a hundred paintings, mainly by 17th-century Dutch and Flemish artists. Today, the collection includes more than 2,000 oil paintings, along with related research and archives, and has a new focus on collecting contemporary art."},{"metadata":{"width":576,"height":1024},"type":"video","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FGbvFOTEW0wfS2rYQ9aOf%2FSnaptik_7094659889720478982_manchesters-finest.mp4?alt=media&token=fc842aa9-9d3b-4341-9330-95e1199d7074"}]},{"address":"National Football Museum","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.14321712068773834,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":53.48597452145,"longitude":-2.241993},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# The final destination in the journey - National Football Museum"},{"metadata":{"width":983,"height":1600},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FGbvFOTEW0wfS2rYQ9aOf%2FNational_Football_Museum_Manchester_5689_(14016851107).jpg?alt=media&token=de801242-f89e-4a9b-bd27-86ac5def5833"},{"metadata":{"width":1000,"height":750},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FGbvFOTEW0wfS2rYQ9aOf%2Fnational-football-museum.jpg?alt=media&token=37bb59e5-c715-4e62-8c39-27b38ba0d5ab"},{"type":"text","content":"Whether you're a die-hard football fan, planning a visit with the family or on a weekend getaway to the wonderful city of Manchester, enjoy the now-open National Football Museum from Wednesday to Sunday.\n\nDive into the social and cultural history of the much-loved sport, with fascinating objects and changing exhibits that show how football has become the game of our lives. how.\n\nSee Geoff Hurst's red shirt and England's ball in the 1966 World Cup Final, see Diego Maradona's famous Hand of God jersey.
