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.

    I love this museum!! It has got absolutely everything and it's free of charge to get in but you have to pay a donation. It isn't far from the town centre it's a little walk and there is just everything to look at, my favourite part of museum is experiment which is upstairs and they have quite a lot of fun things like making sensory bubble tube, bouncing the balls and the percussion! Overall it's very atmospheric! I love the experience. I also liked the bit where you could create the sound effects on the DJ machine, thought it was all very cool!

    My visit to the Science and Industry Museum left much to be desired, especially for my teenage son, who found nothing of interest there. The two floors of the building offered little of note, and the entire visit lasted only 25 minutes. It felt like a shadow of its former self from 15 years ago. Overall, I would not recommend it, particularly for families with older children looking for engaging attractions.
