Tomorrow is holding a special event called . The great news is that you can take your objects along to the museum and get help uploading them to the website.
That's what a group from Trinity High School in Manchester did earlier this year for . Take a look at their video that they made about their how they chose their objects to put on the website.
Don't worry if you can't think of anything to take along to though. There are events throughout the day, some of which sound quite intriguing - for example, one invites you to "travel back in time and make Egyptian hair."
Now I wasn't clear what this would involve, so I hit the search engine. As a result I'm even more intrigued because, at Minnesota State University:
It may have been all the rage in ancient Egypt but these days that is a pretty bold look for a boy or girl. Is the museum really intending to shave the youth of Manchester? Probably not, but it would make quite a sight.
If Egyptian hair isn't your thing you could make a headdress instead or dress up as a Celt. Or you can pick up a Relic Trail and hunt down the objects the museum has added to this website.Ìý I've been watching quite a few Asian action films lately, so I'd like to see the Samurai armour but there is also Greek pottery, a hoard of gold coins and a Roman altar.
We've now have ten museums in and around the Manchester area that have joined the project, including participants like Bury Art Gallery. I love their cradle of Sir Robert Peel. That is a sturdy piece of children's furniture.

Children had unique hairstyles in ancient Egypt. Their hair was shaved off or cut short except for a long lock of hair left on the side of the head, the so-called side-lock of youth.
