Learning is at the heart of The McManus and our programmes explore the City’s art and heritage, providing access to a diverse and fascinating collection of objects and artworks. Programme activities include artist-led workshops, handling sessions, tours, projects and events.
About our Team
The Creative Learning Team can advise visiting groups on the content of exhibitions, displays, programmes and learning resources, such as educators’ packs, ‘hands-on’ interactives and multi-media interpretation.
Creative Learning Suite
Our learning spaces encourage exploration and creativity. Our suite includes a creative studio workshop space, Family Space, IT access, cloakroom and accessible toilet.
As the largest Creative Learning space, the Studio is dedicated to the development of ‘hands-on’ creative activity, providing opportunities for visitors to participate in artist-led workshops and handling sessions. This light, south-facing space can accommodate large school or community groups.
The Family Space houses a unique range of interactive learning resources plus IT and internet access. As an open access drop-in space it allows families to experience different activities linked to our collection.
