Science & Industry Museum

Housed in the historic 1830 Liverpool Road station, the world’s first passenger railway, this immersive museum celebrates Manchester’s global impact on science and industry. More than exhibits, it’s a social space: families and friends meet for hands‑on STEM experiences, interactive workshops, and citizen‑science events like the annual Manchester Science Festival. With communal spaces, engaging talks, and lively galleries, it connects curious minds across generations in real-world discovery and dialogue. There is also a wonderful cafe where networking and interaction can happen.
