Golden mummies and a brand new gallery wing as the Manchester Museum re-opens after two years and £15m refurb
16.02.2023 - 23:29 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
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.
Of course, the established attractions remain too, including the historic Fossils Gallery, complete with a new exhibit - a 100 million-year-old tenontosauraus, called April, and Stan the tyrannosaurus rex. The vivarium will also be back open too, with its huge array of exotic amphibians and reptiles.

The Golden Mummies of Egypt exhibition will also be returning to the museum after having toured through the US and China over the past two years.
The museum will also have a new entrance facing directly onto Oxford Road, a picnic area, a new gift shop, prayer rooms and a new cafe. The upstairs floors of the new wing, which extends into what was the museum’s courtyard, house both the Lee Kai Hung Chinese Culture Gallery and the South Asia Gallery.
The Chinese Culture gallery draws on both the historical and contemporary links between Manchester and China, as well as objects from the Qing Dynasty and a stunning 20-metre scroll from the 18th century, depicting Emperor Kangxi’s birthday procession through the streets of Beijing.
Next door, the South Asia Gallery is a co-curation project with the British
