We want to support educators to make the very most of a museum visit.
The museum is free to visit and you are very welcome to bring your family or group any day (Tuesday to Sunday). If you’re visiting with more than 6 children, please just let us know you’re coming for a learning visit by completing a Group Booking enquiry.
Our Museum Saturday Club offers engaging activities in the museum for 13-16 year olds. Find out more here: https://www.museum.manchester.ac.uk/learn/young-people-13-18/
We will be launching our new Family Volunteering programme in the autumn. Please sign up to our Home Educators’ e-news for updates and further information about this programme.
As one of the UK’s largest university museums, we care for over 4.5 million objects, with an internationally-important collection spanning from Archaeology to Zoology, and nearly everything in between. We work with communities, support university students and schools in Manchester and beyond and we are a free, inclusive museum for all. But we need your help. Every object we care for, exhibition, school visit and community event comes at a cost, and you can help make the museum as ambitious and impactful as possible.
