 dels of Marine Invertebrates\nWednesday 4 December 1-2pm\nBook on 0161 2
 75 2648 or museum@manchester.ac.uk\, free.\n\nMarion Endt-Jones\, art hi
 storian and curator of the exhibition Coral: Something Rich and Strange 
 (29 November 2013-16 March 2014) will talk about Manchester Museum's gla
 ss models of marine invertebrates\, produced by the father and son team 
 Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka at the end of the nineteenth century. Variou
 sly described as 'obsolete science'\, 'high craft'\, or 'low art'\, the 
 models have\, over time\, fulfilled several roles: substitute specimens 
 for marine creatures that are notoriously difficult to preserve\; educat
 ional tools\; and living room decorations. They have more recently\, bec
 ome fetish objects celebrated by the contemporary art scene.\n\nCollecti
 on Bites is on the first Wednesday of the month\, joined by a series of 
 guest speakers for lunchtime conversations discussing key objects from t
 he collection. \n
