Katy Perry soaks up Manchester's art scene

Pop superstar Katy Perry is currently on the UK leg of her Prismatic tour and revealed that she spent part of today (May 22) in Manchester at an art gallery checking out an exhibition. 

She took to her official Instagram account and shared a photograph of herself posing next to an installation at the Joana Vasconcelos exhibition at the Manchester Art Gallery.

The 'Dark Horse' beauty accompanied the image with the caption: 

"Went and got cultured today n saw Time Machine, an exhibition by Joana Vasconcelos at Manchester Art Gallery."

The beauty also recently admitted that she has a growing passion for art and would be interested in getting an art history education: "I'm going to slowly become an art collector. Today, we had an all-day art crawl. We got to see some private collections from some people's homes and then we went to a couple of galleries."

"What I'm really drawn to is modern contemporary art and pop art, of course. Also some key photography. I've always loved Cindy Sherman and today I got interested in Lee Friedlander... This is all brand new. I'm really interested in having an art history education."
