In this episode of Cottonmouth MCR we talk to Alistair Hudson, Director of both Manchester Art Gallery and the Whitworth about the history of the two institutions, their role in the city, how they will evolve in the future, collecting in the 21st century, and connecting with the people of Manchester. With some diversions into museology and comments on collecting.
CottonmouthMCR is brought to you by CityCo, the city centre management company for Manchester and Salford. It’s hosted by Vaughan Allen, Chief Exec of CityCo and is recorded either ‘live’ on location or by our friends at Blueprint Studios, Salford.
