SUMMARY:Town Hall Artisans\, Trades and Treasures Display
DESCRIPTION:Find out more about what’s happening to The Town Hall behind all that scaffolding and building wrap. \n\n\nThis display celebrates progress on our Town Hall’s restoration\, showing some of the objects and discoveries uncovered so far\, with a focus on some of the trades that are bringing twenty-first century conservation skills to the Victorian objects on display. \n\n\nSo\, you can see a freshly restored oil painting of Manchester’s radical Mayor Abel Heywood\, and some of the conservation materials used to repair the canvas and removed built-up dust and particulates. \n\n\nMosaic tesserae originally laid by Venetian craftsmen in the 1870s are on display with some of the tools of the trade being used by today’s artisans to renew them. \n\n\nBeautiful stained and clear glass from the Town Hall’s ornate windows is also on show\, as are bells and ropes and other gear from the building’s clock tower. \n\n\nYou’ll find these interesting displays on the first floor\, to the left of the entrance to the Wolfson Reading Room until Saturday 29 June. \nFree – please drop in

SUMMARY:A Monumental Effort: Restoring the Albert Memorial Afternoon Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Manchester Town Hall has been closed since January 2018 for an extensive restoration programme that will repair and upgrade the building to modern standards. The work will include the conservation of many heritage features. \nOur series of Heritage Lectures aims to shine a light on some of the fascinating work that’s been going on behind the scenes. We’ve already heard about the work on our paintings\, mosaic flooring\, clock\, stained-glass windows\, organ and furniture. Now it’s time to turn our attention outside of the building to the iconic Albert Memorial in Albert Square. \nStrictly speaking\, the memorial is quite separate. It was built and completed well before the Town Hall\, predating it by a decade. But the Our Town Hall Project encompasses the public realm too\, and the decision was made – very early in the project – to include the Albert Memorial as part of it. \nThe first monument to commemorate Prince Albert\, the Albert Memorial is an elaborate Gothic enclosure\, protecting a marble statue of the Prince. The high levels of decoration on the 73’ high memorial represent his interests. There are portraits of famous men and the coats of arms of his dominions in Saxony. The memorial was created by Matthew Noble and completed in 1866. \nJoin us in Central Library for a chance to hear from our lead Architect\, Jamie Coath from Purcell\, and Steve Eccleshre from Bullen Conservation\, the stonemasons currently working on the memorial’s restoration and repair. \nThe free lecture starts at 1pm and is repeated at 5.30pm Please book your place for either by clicking the links below: \n\n1pm lecture. Doors open 12.30pm for a 1pm start (ends 2.15pm) \n5.30pm lecture. Doors open 5pm for a 5.30 pm start (ends 6.45pm)
