Manchester Museum is finally ready to reopen to the public after an ambitious £15m transformation project.
The cultural institution has expanded into a modern new two-storey extension, with new exhibition spaces and inclusive facilities added into the space.
Manchester Museum, which is part of the University of Manchester, will officially reopen this weekend after an 18-month refurbishment.
New spaces inside include a brand new Exhibition Hall, which will open with the blockbuster exhibition Golden Mummies of Egypt.
Visitors can get unparalleled access to more than 100 objects and eight mummies in a UK debut.
The new extension also includes the South Asia Gallery (a partnership with the British Museum), which will be the UK’s first permanent space to explore the lived experience of South Asian diaspora communities.
