| Description |
New Ancient Worlds Galleries (Under Construction) Work has started on the Manchester Museum's new Ancient Worlds galleries, due to be opening on 31st October 2012 to mark the centenary of the first Egypt gallery to be opened at the Museum. The three new galleries will replace the Ancient Egypt, Mediterranean and Archaeology galleries and will include artifacts from the museum's collections from Manchester and the region, and from ancient civilizations such as Greece, Rome and Egypt. It is 25 years since the galleries were last changed. Ancient Worlds will showcase the best of the museum's outstanding archaeology collections and reveal the people behind the objects: who made them, who used them, who lost and re-discovered them, who collected, classified and interpreted them. The three new galleries will be; - Discovering Archaeology Examining our relationship with the past, how we know about it through a wide range of archaeological techniques, and how our understanding is coloured by the world today. The feel will be one of discovery and exploration: a stimulating 'Resource Centre' full of intriguing information. - Egyptian World This will take visitors on a journey through the landscape, customs and practices of the ancient Egyptians. The museum acknowledges that people are fascinated by ancient Egypt and the new displays will bring this key period and place to life in a dramatic and thought-provoking way. - Exploring Objects This will reveal the full richness of the museum's archaeology collections through 'visible storage' with a difference. Dense displays will allow a broader range of objects to be on show. Imaginative grouping of artifacts will invite visitors to consider new approaches to understanding the past. |
