Not many museums care for live animals, but our Vivarium has for over 30 years! Meet the Keeper is an opportunity to chat with our amphibian specialists and learn more about the vital conservation, research, and education work of our live animals.

Have you ever wondered how we recreate tropical conditions in the heart of Manchester, or what it takes to describe a new species? How many species of frogs are there? Why does Manchester Museum have live frogs?

This is your opportunity to ask your burning questions and find even more reasons to love our animals.

Booking isn’t necessary, just turn up to the gallery.

You can help us care for our collections and bring joy and inspiration to people in Manchester and beyond

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.
