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.

November 2024Visited on a Saturday at the beginning of October half term. Very interesting exhibits and cafe and shop. The room on the textiles was extremely interesting and interactive and gave a real sense of the period and the impact on peoples' lives. Free entry but donation expected. Seems to be big plans for development of the site over the next few years.

November 2024This is the best museum for all ages. Truly epitomizes how Manchester played a crucial role in development of science and tech. Visit here for a fun filled day with live demos, activities on top floor , see machines, textiles, understand how life evolved during these times … and a gift shop too plus a cafe. It is free to enter.

November 2024It’s a fascinating place that offers free entry and is packed with interactive exhibits, hands-on activities, and educational displays. Explore the history of Manchester’s industrial revolution, textile industry, and scientific innovations, including detailed cotton manufacturing machines, steam engines, and one of the first Rolls Royce cars. Great for all ages!

November 2024Really interesting place to visit for all ages. Free entry although they do ask for donations but no pressure can give at reception or using screens around building. Cafe toilets and gift shop on site. Really cool fun interactive things for the kids to do and fun for the adults. Very good talks about machinery computers etc. Shame only part of building was open due to works on a large section.
