The claim is time-sensitive and no longer matches the gallery’s current published materials.

As of April 2026, Manchester Art Gallery has an official large-print guide titled “Gallery 5 – A New Market”. That guide includes an entry for “The Sirens and Ulysses”, which shows the painting is currently displayed in Gallery 5 rather than Gallery 3.

A separate official Manchester Art Gallery accessibility page also lists the gallery’s current large-print label guides and identifies “Gallery 5 – A New Market” as one of the active gallery spaces. Taken together, these current gallery materials contradict the article’s statement that the painting “currently hangs in Gallery Three.”

So the article’s wording appears to be out of date, not historically impossible: the painting may previously have been in Gallery 3, but the museum’s current 2026 documentation places it in Gallery 5.
