Summer holidays at The Manchester Museum
18 Aug 2010
Last chance to see the stuffed animals in their current home
Monday 19 July-Friday 27 August / 11am-4pm
See you soon animals!
This summer is your last chance to see our stuffed animals until they reappear in their amazing new home in spring 2011. Looking at issues such as habitat loss, extinction and climate change, their new Living Planet gallery will reveal how we are all part of the natural world and how we can make a positive difference. Wish our animals well on their journey, build a rainforest for our tiger and much more.
