Manchester Museum is on a mission to become the most imaginative, inclusive, and caring museum that you will ever visit. 

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. Since we reopened our doors following our hello future transformation, more than two million visitors have come to explore, learn, and imagine with us.

Our mission to build understanding between cultures and a more sustainable world has never been more urgent or necessary than it is now. We have bold and ambitious plans for the future, but we need your help to bring these plans to life.

Every exhibition, every conservation project, every school visit and every community programme comes at a cost. With your support, we can go further and become the museum our community needs us to be - opening doors to culture, challenging perspectives, and shaping a more sustainable, connected future for everyone.

You can support Manchester Museum by making a donation today. Every donation, big or small, helps us to preserve our world-class collections, captivate new audiences, and spark joy and curiosity across our community.

Together, we can build a museum - and a future - where everyone belongs.
