Taking Stock – In conversation with…The Collections Access team – 5 July

Get ready for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to delve behind the scenes of Manchester Art Gallery’s remarkable collection.  

Many different people work in Manchester Art Gallery – have you ever wondered what they do?
Come along to an ‘in conversation with’ session and hear from conservators, technicians and our collections access teams and learn what these specialised roles do within the gallery. Staff will give you an insight into the work they are doing as part of our Taking Stock project, much of which is usually unseen behind the scenes, but is vital in creating the vibrant and interesting displays you see in the galleries, and to the ongoing care of our wider collection.

Due to this being a storage space, numbers on tours are limited to 12 people. Booking is therefore essential. Please meet your group outside the doors to Gallery 17 (top floor of the gallery) five minutes before your tour start time.
