Closures
20-23 July
During the week we'll be installing a giant kaleidoscope so we will be screening off the left hand side of the Clore Gallery. You will be able to peep through the spyholes in the temporary wall to see the installation going on.
24-25 July
Due to essential maintenance the top floor of Manchester Art Gallery (including our current exhibition A World Observed 1940 - 2010: Photographs by Dorothy Bohm and the Gallery of Craft & Design) will be closed for the weekend of 24 and 25 July. We're sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
