Whitworth Art Gallery

The Whitworth Art Gallery, located at 352 Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9NL, United Kingdom, underwent a significant redevelopment completed in 2015. The project, led by McInnes Usher McKnight Architects (MUMA), expanded the gallery's public space and introduced new facilities, including additional galleries, a study center, a learning studio, and a collections center. A notable feature of the redevelopment is the extension that integrates two wings into the adjacent Whitworth Park, creating a seamless connection between the gallery and the park. The extension's brickwork design draws inspiration from the gallery's extensive textile collection, reflecting the institution's heritage. The project has been recognized with awards such as the RIBA National Award and the AJ Retrofit Award in the 'Cultural and Public Buildings' category. (whitworth.manchester.ac.uk)
