( 0161-474-4460
Opening Times - Daily 1pm - 5pm. Admission is free. Closed weekdays from November to March.
Directions: In Vernon Park, look for the Vernon Building and you are not far away, but the signs to the museum are sporadic so I suggest you locate Turncroft Rd on a map before you make the journey.
Exhibition Policy: A limited collection of around a dozen nondescript paintings from the Victorian collection of J Smith MP donated in 1842. Personally I would not recommend this museum unless you are also interested in local history of Stockport.
Food & Drink There is a café on the premises
Visitors With Special Needs: The paintings are in the stairwell, so not viewable from a wheelchair.
