Opened in 1969, the North Western Museum of Science and Industry quickly outgrew its temporary premises on Grosvenor Street in Chorlton-on-Medlock. When Liverpool Road Station closed in 1975, Greater Manchester Council agreed to purchase it to become the museum’s new home.
With its award-winning galleries housed in historic buildings, our Revolution Manchester Gallery and Power Hall provide guests with the opportunity to dine amongst some of the world’s oldest exhibits from the field of science and engineering, including the first stored computer.
Our venue hire team will take care of every detail, from choosing your unique space to catering and entertainment.

September 2024Lots of things to do and explore. Free to enter although there is one exhibition that you have to pay for but be warned, entry is shut and hour before closing time. Nice coffee on site too

June 2024Amazing place. Perfect little activity and it's free! Went with my partner and enjoyed every moment of it. The interactive games felt really enjoyable and educational! Learning about the industry was really fun and interesting. Everyone in there was really friendly and helpful and the food in the cafe is really nice. 10/10

June 2024Attended the Museum for the Operation Ouch exhibition. Such a lovely clean museum with lots to do. The actual museum was free to attend and we paid extra to attend the special exhibition. Kids absolutely loved it. There was lots to do. It wasn't too busy which was a bonus! Great day out enjoyed by all the family. We were there for hours 😊

June 2024One of the best museums I have ever visited. Not too crowded and big to make you tired and overwhelmed, not too small to be boring. Perfect for 2-3hour visit. We had lot of fun reading about and seeing the textile machines and also the top floor with different games was really cute and fun. We also paid extra to be admitted to the gaming area where they have a selection of all the consoles and legendary games throughout years and spent an hour playing there! Would totally recommend!

August 2024A family visit to Science Museum was an excellent experience whole family thoroughly enjoyed. It is a major museum dedicated to the development of science, technology, and industry. Located on the site of the world’s first passenger railway station, it showcases Manchester’s rich industrial heritage and its role in the Industrial Revolution. The museum features a wide range of exhibits, including steam engines, early computers, and a working replica of a cotton mill. It also has interactive displays, hands-on activities, and regular special exhibitions that explore scientific and technological advancements. The museum is part of the Science Museum Group and is free to enter.
