With access to 4.5 million artifacts from every continent, The Manchester Museum is a vital research facility for the University of Manchester. The neo-Gothic building is centrally located on the university campus, so you can combine a museum visit with a tour of the university grounds. In 2011, the museum opened Living Worlds, an exhibit that encourages visitors to reflect on their own attitude toward nature. The Ancient Worlds exhibit involves a hands-on approach to explore the work of archaeologists. In 2013, Nature's Library opened to the public holding thousands of artifacts against the backdrop of Gothic Revival architecture.

Brilliant place, brilliant staff. I think this museum is far better than the one in London. Some may disagree but that will be due to shear size of the Natural history museum in London. I found Manchester Natural history Museum way better in terms of lay out, items, their history and the who vibe of the place.
