This new exhibition at Manchester Art Gallery features new work from four modern artists.

Their work has been inspired by the ‘Grand Tour’, a trip across Europe taken by upper-class men in the 17th and 18th centuries to find and see great art.

In the mid-1900s, Manchester Art Gallery purchased many Grand Tour artworks, now these artworks have been used as inspiration for four modern artists. You can see their work in this new exhibition.
