The Museum of Museums at the Trafford Centre, Manchester, has closed just five months after opening to the public.
The museum, which was originally intended to feature exhibitions and collections from museums around the country, announced its closure last month.
But the attraction’s current exhibition, Tutankhamun – His Tomb and Treasures, which is in a separate space, will remain open until the end of this month.
The Museum of Museums, which was housed in a renovated warehouse at the Trafford Centre, will be replaced by a commercial exhibition centre.
Any collections and objects that were loaned to the museum by other organisations will be returned to their owners. The site is owned by Peel Holdings, which also owns the Trafford Centre.
