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.

February 2025This is a fascinating museum that interactively shows how science and technology have changed the world. The old steam engines, locomotives, and early computers are incredibly impressive. It's a great place for people of all ages who want to learn something new and have a good time.

January 2025The Science and Industry Museum is a must-see when you're in Manchester, and here’s why: First off, there are some amazing 'firsts' to check out, like the very first computer, "Baby", and how the textile industry got its start right here in Manchester. You'll be blown away by these incredible exhibits! On the first floor, there are fun scientific games that everyone can enjoy—perfect for both adults and kids. And you definitely won't want to miss the display on Stephen Hawking! It highlights his groundbreaking work and shares some personal stories that really bring his genius to life. Best of all, the museum is right in the heart of Manchester, super easy to get to, and it's completely free! So, make sure to stop by when you're in the city. You won’t regret it!

February 2025I can't wait for the rest to reopen when they're ready but there's still plenty to enjoy at the MOSI with kids. From the half term exhibitions like Power Up and special one off shows, talks and demos, there's always something new to explore. We also love the cafe and think it's delicious and great value. My kids love it here and I'm even happen to endure an awful northern rail train service for an hour to get here 🤣

January 2025Before I came, I expected the exhibition hall to provide some modern technology displays, but it turned out that the exhibition was more child-oriented. Families can have fun with their children all day long, and parents can spend a pleasant afternoon with them. In addition to family love, it is also very suitable for couples to relax. In short, it is a recommended attraction.

January 2025It's fine for a free museum (suggested donations). It's more geared towards kids rather than adults. If you are an adult and can catch the tour on the textile section it's very well worth it, otherwise the second floor is just filled with fun little games geared towards kids.
