Happy #MayDay!
During the 1860s Randolph Caldecott worked in the Manchester & Salford bank on Mosley Street - a stone's throw from @mcrartgallery - and attended Manchester School of Art in the evenings.

Giorgio Vasari’s Lives of the Most Famous Painters, Sculptors and Architects (1550 & 1569) is a classic of cultural history. We've teamed up with @thamesandhudson to offer 4 #FREE copies of their updated Life of Leonardo da Vinci, edited by eminent da Vinci scholar Martin Kemp.
@henrymooresg We also have one of #HenryMooreDrawings on display with other works from our collection depicting the body alongside Leonardo da Vinci: A Life in Drawing.
The title of this piece is REM, an abbreviation for Rapid Eye Movement - the stage of sleep when our dreams occur. Named by #HalimaCassell to reflect how she often has ideas for new works in her dreams.
Who else gets creative ideas in their dreams?
Tonight, from 5pm here on Twitter and Instagram, Future Creative students Kitty Coles and Celeste Knight will launch a range of 7 affordable products including fridge magnets, notebooks, zines and guides offering new ways of viewing art, for sale in the gallery shop.
