Museum of Science and IndustryIt may not seem like everybody's cup of tea, but the Manchester
Museum of Science and Industry is a truly fascinating and varied
collection of exhibits, displays and more, that will appeal to
visitors of all ages. Fifteen different galleries crammed full of
interesting items are housed in the key historic site of one of the
world's oldest railway stations, Liverpool Road Station. Some of
the permanent exhibits include Underground Manchester, where
visitors can meander through a reconstructed Victorian Sewer system
(complete with authentic sounds and smells); the Revolution
Manchester interactive technology gallery; the captivating
Collections Centre with anything from antique microscopes to
memorabilia; a 4D cinema; and the Air and Space
Hall. The Special Exhibitions gallery plays host to several touring
exhibitions annually. The Museum also houses a shop, café and
restaurant, as well as several picnic areas. A highly recommended
outing for the entire family, budget at least half
