Carbon Ruins is an exhibition, set in the year 2050 when we have reached zero carbon. Pupils and students from across Manchester have selected 12 objects from today that would be displayed in the Carbon Ruins exhibition; representing the change that must have happened to reach net zero.
Carbon Ruins, Manchester is a project for schools from Manchester Museum.
Manchester Museum is currently working with schools to develop content for the next Carbon Ruins Manchester exhibition, due to open in July 2024.

As one of the UK’s largest university museums, we care for over 4.5 million objects, with an internationally-important collection spanning from Archaeology to Zoology, and nearly everything in between. We work with communities, support university students and schools in Manchester and beyond and we are a free, inclusive museum for all. But we need your help. Every object we care for, exhibition, school visit and community event comes at a cost, and you can help make the museum as ambitious and impactful as possible.
