LONDON—Lindow Man, the best-preserved body from the Iron Age found in the U.K., is leaving the British Museum for the first time in 17 years and moving to the Manchester Museum, the BBC reports. He will be exhibited starting in April on long-term loan in a specially designed space as part of the British Museum's partnership program, which allows people from around the U.K. to see its collection.

Chemicals at Lindow Moss in Cheshire preserved his body, which was found in 1984, nearly 2,000 years after his death. Researchers identified that his throat was slit and he was garrotted, possibly as a sacrificial victim. From studying the remains, scientists better understand Iron Age activities and can picture the face of a prehistoric person.
