Whitworth: Past, Present and Future: An outdoor tour

02 Jun 2014

With warmer weather on the way we invite you to join us for Whitworth: Past, Present & Future, a new outdoor tour for those interested in finding out more about Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester's gallery in the park, whilst we undergo a £15 million redevelopment (opening in autumn 2014)

The Whitworth’s very own Visitor Team will take you back through the gallery’s illustrious 125 year history. From its humble beginnings as Grove House, a gallery established 'for the perpetual gratification of the people of Manchester', right up to the present day. Hear about what the redeveloped Whitworth will offer: brand new exhibition spaces, a fabulous art garden designed by Sarah Price, the innovative Clore Learning Studio and more... All this whilst taking a stroll through Whitworth Park, with views of the original façade of the building and encounters with some of the Whitworth's collections of outdoor art.
