- Manchester Museum
It’s an exciting time at Manchester Museum! We reopened our doors in February 2023 after a major capital redevelopment project, hello future, and we are transforming into the most caring, inclusive, and imaginative museum we can possibly be.
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. You can help make the museum as ambitious and impactful as possible.
To support the museum, you can make a donation today. Any gift, big or small, will make a huge difference, so thank you.
Exempt Charity No. XR82062

If your chosen cause is not listed on this site, you can still support them. Just make sure to include their registered charity number so there is no delay in forwarding on your donation.
