Mini British Museum ‐ Manchester Museum

#100 Ways to Travel The Manchester Museum, located on Oxford Street in the city center, has many natural history exhibits that are suitable for all ages and is best for families to visit. Visit the museum's various exhibitions across these beautiful Victorian galleries and you'll see one of the UK's largest and most important collections of Ancient Egyptian artefacts, dating back to 10,000 BC. The museum also houses a collection of Roman artefacts and other unearthed artifacts from Manchester and the local area. Beginning in the 19th century as the personal collection of a wealthy local manufacturer, the museum slowly expanded to include dinosaurs, mummies and live taxidermy animals, and this free attraction boasts a collection of artifacts from Far Eastern cultures.
