In partnership with the National Saturday Club, our Museum Saturday Club will be launched in spring. We are looking for 13-16 year olds who would like to join us for 8 weekly sessions starting in March, focusing on the theme of Society and Change. From climate change and conflict to new technologies and taking action, you will explore the forces that are shaping the world today and discover how young people have a voice to influence the future.

You can help us care for our collections and bring joy and inspiration to people in Manchester and beyond.

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.
