Our Collection
Egyptology
The Manchester Museum is home to one of the largest and most important collections of ancient Egyptian artefacts in the United Kingdom. The collection includes objects from prehistoric Egypt (c. 10,000 BC) to the Byzantine era, up to around AD 600. We have now started work on our new Ancient Worlds galleries, opening late 2012, which will replace the current Ancient Egypt and Archaeology galleries. The Daily Life section of Ancient Egypt is now closed and the Death and the Afterlife section of Ancient Egypt and Archaeology will close on 20 Feb 2012.
Live Animals
Come and meet the live frogs, other amphibians and reptiles in our award winning Vivarium.
Resource Centre
The Museum's Resource Centre on Floor 3 is open to anyone wanting to do research on objects in the Museum's collection.
