Two principal themes drive everything that we do: promoting understanding between cultures and developing a sustainable world. In working on these themes we believe that as a University museum we should take risks and explore new approaches to museum practice. The Museum is strategically connected to the research and teaching activities of the University of Manchester and the Museum’s collection is extensively used in academic research. Additionally the Museum has a thriving learning and education department which provides a unique opportunity for pupils to engage with the collection and experts across a variety of subjects at all school ages.
