Temporary exhibition at Manchester Museum. Explore the enduring fascination with coral as a material, symbol and inspiration for artists, cultures and societies across the centuries.

Coral: Something Rich and Strange is a major new temporary exhibition which will provide a plethora of fascinating and beautiful objects, telling a story about biodiversity and the importance of marine environments today.

Art installations by Mark Dion and textile artist Karen Casper will go alongside our community art project, Manchester’s first Crochet Coral Reef.
