The Whitworth is an art gallery and one of Manchester's greatest cultural assets. It is driven by a mission to work with communities to use art for positive social change. It aims to actively address what matters most in people’s lives. This vision has been developed as part of an international dialogue about how to evolve and adapt museums to a constantly changing world.

In 2015 the gallery undertook a £17 million redevelopment, which doubled the public space, creating new facilities to house the collection of over 55,000 works of art, textiles and wallpaper. Along with expanded gallery spaces, a study centre, learning studio, and collections care centre, the gallery reconnected with its park (Whitworth Park), with communal gardens and outdoor programmes.
