Support us
Help us create a future where people and planet can thrive.
Manchester Museum is on a mission to become the most imaginative, inclusive, and caring museum that you will ever visit. Our commitment to building understanding between cultures and a more sustainable world underpins everything we do. From thought-provoking exhibitions and uplifting events, to pioneering research, and our engagement programmes which inspire thousands of school children and families every year.
As a charity, we rely on the generosity of supporters like you. Your donation could help us to preserve our world-class collection of 4.5 million objects, captivate new audiences, and spark curiosity and joy across our community.
Together, we can build a museum – and a future – where everyone belongs.
Thank you to all our current supporters whose generosity makes our work possible.
“Of all the places I’ve visited in Manchester, this is the only place I’ve felt I’ve belonged – and it’s free! All different cultures, friendly staff everywhere I went.”
