DESCRIPTION:In 2012\, to mark the centenary of the first Egypt gallery to
  be opened at the Museum\, we are opening Ancient Worlds - three new gal
 leries highlighting our collections from Manchester and the region\, and
  from ancient civilizations such as Greece\, Rome and Egypt. Ancient Wor
 lds will showcase the best of our outstanding archaeology collections an
 d reveal the people behind the objects: who made them\, who used them\, 
 who lost and re-discovered them\, who collected\, classified and interpr
 eted them.  \n\nDiscovering Archaeology\nThe first gallery will be about
  our relationship with the past\, how we know about it through a wide ra
 nge of archaeological techniques\, and how our understanding is coloured
  by the world today. It is about discovery and exploration: a stimulatin
 g 'Resource Centre' full of intriguing information.\n\nEgyptian World\nT
 he second gallery will take visitors on a journey through the landscape\
 , customs and practices of the ancient Egyptians. The new displays bring
  this key period and place to life in a dramatic and thought-provoking w
 ay.\n\nExploring Objects \nThe third gallery reveals the full richness o
 f our archaeology collections through 'visible storage' with a differenc
 e. Dense displays allow a broader range of objects to be on show. Imagin
 ative grouping of artefacts invite you to consider new approaches to und
 erstanding the past.\n\nThe new Ancient Worlds galleries are supported b
 y the National Lottery through the Heritage Lottery Fund\, The Garfield 
 Weston Foundation\, The Monument Trust\, The Headley Trust\, The Stavros
  Niarchos Foundation\, The Foundation for Sport and the Arts\, The Barke
 r Foundation\, The Charlotte Bonham-Carter Charitable Trust\, Manchester
