Hannah has been a Curator at Manchester Art Gallery for 12 years. Previously she worked at Hat Works, the hat museum in Stockport, and at the National Trust’s Quarry Bank Mill. She is interested in connecting industrial and social history with art history, and in exploring lesser-known art movements. Her favourite curating cuts across time to make unexpected combinations, and her keenest professional pleasure is found in talking about art.

Hannah has recently started a PhD in museum history at Manchester Metropolitan University. She lives in Macclesfield and is proud to serve on the board of trustees of Macclesfield Silk Museum.
