A series of lectures, workshops and performances are taking place in conjunction with institutions including Whitworth art gallery, Manchester art gallery, Manchester Museum and Salford museum and art gallery.
During 70 sessions over the week, the positive contribution to health of spending time in museums and galleries will be promoted.
