Bury Art Museum is a public museum and art gallery in the town of Bury, Greater Manchester, northern England, owned by Bury Council.Formerly known as Bury Museum and Art Gallery, it was renamed Bury Art Museum in 2011.
The museum is home to the Wrigley Collection, an assemblage of over two hundred oil paintings, watercolours, prints and ceramics accumulated by the Victorian paper manufacturer Thomas Wrigley .

The most recent renovation includes modern artefacts such as iPods and electric iRobot vacuum cleaners.
The council decided in 2006 to sell Lowry's painting The Riverbank at auction in order to fund part of its social services budget shortfall. This has resulted in the government's Museums, Libraries and Archives Council removing Bury Council's accredited museum status. The authority will now have limited funding options and will be ineligible for some grants.
