Reopened Manchester Museum gives voice to south Asian diaspora

‘It’s time for a whole host of other perspectives,’ says museum’s director after £15m redevelopment

After 18 months of closure and a £15m redevelopment, Manchester Museum will reopen to the public on Saturday.

Alongside the existing collection of about 4.5m objects, from mounted mammals to botanical specimens and fossils, visitors will also be able to explore new spaces and hear diverse, untold stories.
