Golden Mummies of Egypt returns

19 Oct 2022

Manchester Museum's first ever touring exhibition has returned.

Golden Mummies of Egypt has achieved incredible success across the USA and China and has been visited by nearly half a million people.

It is a one-of-a-kind cultural experience, featuring eight mummies and hundreds of objects, offering visitors unparalleled access to the museum’s Egypt and Sudan collections.

The exhibition is currently being constructed in the museum's brand new Exhibition Hall and will be open to visitors in February 2023. The Exhibition Hall is part of hello future, the £15 million transormation of the museum, that is supported using public funding from Arts Council England, The National Lottery Heritage Fund, The University of Manchester, and numerous philanthropic supporters.

After Golden Mummies of Egypt will be Wild, a new exhibition exploring the concept of wild, rewilding and wildness. It will highlight examples of the ways people are using wildness to shape the landscapes around us in the UK and beyond. From Yellowstone in the USA to the streets of Manchester, visitors will encounter the ways in which rewilding and conservation are occurring today and consider how we might want to shape our future. By sharing inspiring stories, advice and guidance to support individual or collective intentions, Wild will move from speculation to action.

Following Golden Mummies of Egypt and Wild, the museum will continue to bring you visually spectacular exhibitions and explore ideas that shape our world.
