Manchester Art Gallery

Paris Hilton could learn a helluva lot from the Manchester Art Gallery. Admittedly, she could learn a lot from primary school too, but we don't have that kind of time. Proving that you don't need to be wearing a scarf and chewing on a pair of spectacles to look intelligent (not that eating eyewear is really too clever), this spot provides an extensive collection of art throughout the ages, with decent guidebooks to help you appreciate the pieces from different perspectives, and it should give you some great ideas for pretty pictures to hang in your bedroom. Don't steal them, though. It's frowned upon.
