Discover the stories hidden inside our clothes at WORN: The Life Within Clothes at Manchester Art Gallery.

This exhibition explores the memories and personal histories stitched into everyday garments. From clothes that have been mended and altered to pieces that are treasured, customised or passed down through generations, WORN reveals how clothing can hold powerful stories about the people who wear them.
