Free drop-in exhibition of school artwork inspired by Manchester Museum's African collections for Black History Month.

Threaded Legacies is a temporary exhibition on the Top Floor of Manchester Museum, created by artist Tina Ramos Ekongo working with five local schools. The artwork draws inspiration from the museum's African collections and celebrates Black History Month, on display throughout October half term in the Top Floor Community Hub. It's free to see and there's no need to book, just drop in during museum opening hours. The exhibition suits all ages and makes a good addition to a half-term visit to the museum.
