Manchester Museum is a proud part of The University of Manchester. The Museum displays works of archaeology, anthropology and natural history and provides access to about 4.5 million items from every continent. It is the UK's largest university museum and serves both as a major visitor attraction and as a resource for academic research and teaching. It has around 500,000 visitors each year. www.museum.manchester.ac.uk
Ancient Objects - New Writing will bring together four artists/writers from refugee backgrounds to develop newwriting in response to objects housed in the Manchester Museum collection. This work along with the selected object will then be displayed in Manchester Libraries as part of Journeys Festival International 2018.
