My first visit to the Whitworth. Had to fight through the rain and wind to get but it was worth it. The exhibition was Cotton: Global Threads, "..about the production, consumption and global trade in cotton". A fascinating and of course locally relevant story. With a nice cafe and small shop. More

This is a great place to visit as a complement to the Manchester Art Gallery: interesting shows and talks, very friendly staff. They go out of their way to be family-friendly. Highly recommended. More
