You can now also discover the Rochdale Arts & Heritage collections by searching our collections database. Currently only a selection of the collection can be searched online. This database will grow as more of our collections are digitised and our knowledge about them increases.
The Art Gallery took part in the Public Catalogue Foundation's project to photograph all the oil paintings in UK public collections in 2011 and you can now view this part of the collection on the BBC website.
Please be aware that not all our collections are on display at Touchstones Rochdale at any one time and if you’re coming to see a particular object, painting or document, please contact us to check beforehand.
