Esme Ward, Director of Manchester Museum

The first Business Meeting of 2023 will be held at the newly opened Manchester Museum. Members will be welcomed by its Director Esme Ward, who will be telling us about the renovations and plans for the future. The £15M renovation project, named Hello Future, will see the Musuem reopen in February 2023.

“Although our building and objects are important, the hello future transformation was about so much more.  We asked ourselves how we can care for people, their ideas, beliefs and relationships. We believe that museums have extraordinary power to build understanding and empathy between cultures, across generations and time.” (www.museum.manchester.ac.uk)

The MCA will provide a light lunch.
