The Whitworth will reopen on 14 February 2015 with a major Cornelia Parker exhibition following a £15 million transformation of the gallery by MUMA Architects

The Whitworth, part of The University of Manchester, will reopen its doors on 14 February 2015 following a £15 million redevelopment project by MUMA (McInnes Usher McKnight Architects), that will transform the 125 year old Whitworth into a 21st century gallery in the park. The redevelopment, which has been supported by a major Heritage Lottery Fund grant, The University of Manchester and other funders, will double public space and create state-of-the-art new facilities including expanded gallery spaces, a learning studio, study centre and a collections access zone. Leading with a major solo exhibition from one of Britain’s most acclaimed contemporary artists, Cornelia Parker, the opening programme will celebrate the Whitworth’s eclectic and extensive collection of historical and contemporary fine art, textiles and wallpapers.
