Part of the Manchester Medieval Quarter Festival, explore a globally significant collection echoing vibrant and varied traditions of medieval art over a thousand years of history.
Delve into intriguing questions current research is asking about the people and processes behind manuscript craft, readership, and merchant networks. Learn how specialist imaging technologies have unravelled secrets kept for centuries in the materials of these captivating manuscripts.
