Albrecht Dürer’s Material World
The first major exhibition in over fifty years of the Whitworth’s collection of works by Albrecht Dürer, a notable figure of Europe’s Renaissance print revolution.
In connection with a new international research project, Albrecht Dürer’s Material World brings together a large selection of the artist’s woodcuts, etchings, and engravings along with examples of items of domestic daily use from the Renaissance era, such as tableware, textiles and scientific instruments.
The exhibition invites the visitor to discover more about Dürer’s art and practice through three themed spaces, the artist’s home, workshop and study.
The more you see, the more we do.
