A two-part split image showing a "Then" and "Now" comparison of the historic Whitworth Hall interior at the University of Manchester. The top "Then" section is a black-and-white photo of the empty hall, showcasing long rows of wooden chairs leading toward a massive, intricate pipe organ on a raised stage under a grand Gothic arched ceiling. The bottom "Now" section is a vibrant color photo taken from the exact same angle during a graduation ceremony. The hall is packed with a crowd of graduates wearing black gowns and mortarboards. On stage, university faculty in bright purple and red academic robes conduct the ceremony beneath the pipe organ, which is illuminated with dramatic purple and blue stage lighting. Large, ornate chandeliers glow warmly from the wooden rafters.
