The Manchester Museum opens its doors again for the first time in nearly two years this weekend, complete with a brand new extension, new permanent galleries, golden mummies and its famous dinosaurs.
The museum, part of Manchester University, closed for the huge £15 million refurbishment - and the pandemic - in the summer of 2021. Since then, it’s been transformed with a huge two storey wing being built to house the brand new South Asia and Chinese Heritage Galleries, which are co-curated by the British Museum.
