Gallery of Modern Art
The Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) is the second most visited contemporary art gallery in the UK outside London, according to the GoMA page on the City Council’s website. It houses a mixture of temporary exhibitions alongside a permanent collection featuring works primarily by local and other British artists.
Formerly a private house, bank and library, the building was converted to its current use in 1996, and is sited in the centre of Royal Exchange Square. Directly in front of GoMA is a statue of the Duke of Wellington, which has a traffic cone placed on its head — while this used to be removed by the City Council, it is now a more-or-less permanent addition, and often features in guidebooks to the city.
