Located at the heart of Manchester, Urbis is an exhibition centre about city life. On your visit you can explore exhibitions about contemporary art & design, gardening, music, the city environment and the people who make our cities what they are.
There’s so much on at Urbis this year, it’ll leave you wanting to come back for more. You don’t have to cram it all into one visit, take your time, everything’s free. Make the most of your visit by relaxing in the Social or sipping a delicious cocktail in the Modern, our new bar and restaurant. We’ll still be here when you come back!
We also have a dynamic programme of changing exhibitions offering unique insights into the culture of the modern city, with innovative explorations of design, architecture, graffiti, music and the urban environment.
