In the basement of a this well-known Manchester building is a museum full curiosities that's putting on special visiting hours for National Lottery Open Week
It's one of Manchester's most recognisable buildings - and one of the region's very best music schools, but the Royal Northern of College also features its own secret museum.
Having made their way down to the basement, visitors will be able to take a look around at the hundreds of instruments in the collection - from African gunibris and Japanese drums to Indian sitars, Chinese fiddles and French pochettes , and a Tibetan human bone trumpet. Archive and Museum Manager Heather Roberts says the museum is an "international musical journey through the best of the Italian Renaissance and English Victorian periods". Heather adds: ‘The instruments and memorabilia we have hidden underneath the college are astounding.
