Part of the University of Manchester and set in Whitworth Park, the Whitworth holds over 60,000 works and is one of the north of England's most respected art institutions. Historic strengths in textiles, wallpapers, works on paper, and Turner watercolours sit alongside a risk-taking contemporary program. The gallery underwent a major award-winning expansion in 2015, opening the building into the surrounding park.

Beneath the Great Wave: Hokusai and Hiroshige

Until Nov 15

Unmissable ukiyo-e prints including The Great Wave, still radically modern after 200 years

"There is not enough space (in this article, on the internet) to adequately describe the bands of colour that Hokusai gives to the skies through pine trees and plum gardens (one literal translation of mono no aware is “the ah!-ness of things”, which is perhaps as close as we can get)."
