Manchester Museum, one of the largest university museums in the UK, is over one hundred and thirty years old. The original neo-Gothic building was designed by renowned architect Alfred Waterhouse (1830–1905) and is home to around four and a half million objects from natural sciences and human cultures. It has always been a place for research and learning, and we are a critical part of the city’s research infrastructure today. hello future is the name given to the £15 million capital project, which transformed the museum and completed in February 2023. Although our building and objects are important, the hello future transformation was about so much more. We asked ourselves how we can care for people, their ideas, beliefs and relationships. We believe that museums have extraordinary power to build understanding and empathy between cultures, across generations and time.
