Come and look behind the scenes of Manchester's publicly owned sculpture collection. Part exhibition, part research space, Out of the Crate delves into the un-tapped history of the collection. This is an opportunity to investigate sculpture through access to stored collections and archival material. Find out what's in store and how we look after it, help unlock hidden stories about works we know very little about and explore how artworks might encourage conversation. We have about 400 sculptures from antiquity to the present day and, until recently, less than 5% were on display. As well as modern and contemporary works, there are 19th-century sculptures and works from earlier periods that have rarely been seen this century and are under-researched. On display are a large range of materials including marble, bronze, wood, glass, ceramic and paper, a variety of sizes and shapes and different techniques of making. From bronze medals decorated with reliefs to large-scale free-standing 3D works, you can now see around 30% of the sculpture collection here. In terms of representation, we should also consider who has and hasn't been included in the collection.

Since the summer of 2023, London-based artist Holly Graham has been in residency at Manchester Art Gallery, developing her practice in exploring the ways in which memory and narrative shape collective histories. Throughout her residency, Graham has accessed the city archives, researching the institution's history, and collections housed at Platt Hall and Manchester Art Gallery. Her work has explored the legacies of expansionism, colonialism and exploitative labour inherent to the material history of cotton.

Join us for the launch of Thomas D. Lee's fantastic second novel, The Knight Watch! We are so excited to host the Manchester launch of Thomas D. Lee's highly-anticipated second novel, The Knight Watch ! The Round Table clashes with the Second World War in this sharp, wildly entertaining mashup of myth and history. Doors: 6.30pm, Starts: 6.45pm Tickets are £5 or admission is free when purchasing a Book & Ticket option, or by picking up a copy of the book in store ahead of the event. About the book: A thousand years ago, the Knights of the Round Table made an oath to protect the realm forevermore. It's safe to say they didn't think it all the way through. Now Britain is embroiled in the Second World War, and the knights are still fighting the enemies of the realm. They're also fighting each other - Kay and Lancelot haven't spoken since Agincourt, and everyone wishes Agravain would stop speaking entirely. Isolde - known in myth and legend for her tragic romance with the knight Tristan - is fed up with her tragic reputation. In a time when women have more freedom than ever before, she's determined to strike out on her own. But when she discovers old enemies working alongside the Nazis, she realises she can't fight all of them by herself. It might be time to get the old band back together . . . About the author: Thomas D. Lee is a novelist and PhD student interested in how contemporary perceptions of masculinity and nationalism can be interrogated through historical and fantasy fiction, especially through the lens of queer theory. His research focuses on the Arthurian mythos and contemporary Arthurian retellings. His first novel, Perilous Times , was a Sunday Times bestseller. If you cannot make the event but would like a dedicated copy of the book, please email events.manchester@blackwell.co.uk or call us on 0161 274 3331. Our event format is usually a 45 minute discussion between the author and interviewer, followed by a chance for audience members to ask questions. There will be the opportunity to get your book signed/dedicated after the event. Events are a brilliant opportunity to discover new books, meet authors and likeminded readers and learn something new. Support your local bookshop and help us keep the Manchester literary scene vibrant and exciting.
