Last chance to see: Vivarium (Live Animals) at Manchester Museum

18 Jul 2013

The Vivarium will close on Monday 22 July 2013 and re-open on Saturday 26 October 2013.

To mark the 50th anniversary of its original opening, we will be redeveloping our Vivarium (Live Animals) gallery. The new gallery will look at themes such as human impact on the natural world (rainforest biodiversity and deforestation), local and global reptiles and amphibians, how humans help these animals and how these animals help humans. The new Vivarium will provide even better displays, enhanced interpretation, and reveal more of the important conservation work that takes place behind the scenes. It will reopen on Saturday 26th October with a ‘World of Frogs’ Big Saturday.

During this time there will also be no lift access to Nature's Library. For more info on our Vivarium, check out our Frog Blog Manchester.
