The collections at the Manchester Art Galleries are prodigious and this fine digital archive allows users to look at over 25,000 works. Given these vast holdings, new users may wish to start by looking at the Highlights of the Collection area. Here they will find a remarkable collection called Remembering Slavery. It's a brief tour based on seven objects that are linked to Manchester's involvement in the transatlantic slave trade. The three other highlight collections include Hidden Gems, and New Faces, which features some wonderful new additions. The Costume Online area features a pleasant melange of thematic tours, including Clothes for Work, Recycled Fashion, and Materials and Making. In this final area, visitors can learn about everything from club clothes to Victorian get-ups for riding a bicycle. Additionally, visitors can search the entire collection for items of particular interest.
