Manchester Museum saw more than 50,000 visitors through its doors during its reopening week, it has revealed. Pictures of the queues of people heading to the beloved attraction went viral on social media last week.
That many schools were on half term helped bolster numbers, with 52,000 people in all heading to the Oxford Road institution. Esme Ward, the director of the museum, dropped a string of emotional tweets last week, thanking the city for its support.
