The
Manchester Museum is a place that captures the imagination. We
are well known for Egyptology, birds and mammals, dinosaurs and
live amphibians but there's a lot more besides. Explore the
Museum's 15 galleries to see objects from the four corners of
the world and almost every period in history. Entry to the
Museum is completely free. You can spend just half an hour or
all day looking around and everyone is welcome. We have a
packed programme of family and adult events linked to the
Museum's collection, many of which are free.
