Manchester has always been the city of innovation, entrenched upon science and industry, the locus where the great Industrial Revolution began, birthing life as we know it today. And you get a chance to see how it all began at the Museum of Science and Industry! Part of the Science Museum Group, the museum offers awesome hands-on exhibitions and massive collections of vintage vehicles and historic working machinery as part of its permanent exhibitions.

With something at the Museum of Science and Industry to fascinate everyone both big and small, come on down and enjoy getting to know historical characters; watch how original machinery works; hop on a replica steam locomotive for a ride; get your hands dirty in the hands-on workshops; and see how the Industrial Revolution changed both Britain and the world!
