MANCHESTER ACADEMY AND MORE

CONTEMPORARY MANCHESTER

What deserves to be discovered

according to Jane Delfino at Manchester Academy

and more“Manchester today is unrecognisable from the post-industrial city of 20 years ago. Home to grand relics of the industrial revolution, the modern city is also studded with independent boutiques and top-flight shops, cool bars and snug pubs. Not only do its museums house some of the UK’s finest historic collections, but also Manchester has a contemporary cultural pulse that puts other British cities to shame.” (Editor Time Out Manchester)
