Whitworth Art Gallery
Client Representative: Matt Cawley
Completion date: 2015
Refurbishment and extension
This new development, partly funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, by architects MUMA will extensively refurbish the existing gallery and re-connect the 19th century building with Whitworth Park through an elegant contemporary extension. Two new wings will embrace the park, creating an art garden between, housing a landscape gallery, a cafe in the trees, a study centre and learning studio. Within the historic building, exhibition galleries will be restored, a collections access zone created and the original 19th century grand hall will be reinstated to public use.
