Science and Industry Museum, Manchester

Visited Sunday 20 03.22. Plenty to see despite the development work taking place. Fascinating insights into the Industrial revolution and its impact locally to be had in the Textiles Gallery. Very informative and engaging talks available throughout the day. The Cancer Exhibition looked superb and would've liked longer to explore but with two little ones bursting to get to the Experimental Zone... Kids came alive here exploring all the interactive exhibits (6 y/o very impressed he could lift a Mini). A great museum to visit; can't wait to return when all of it is back open. Cafe served up a good brew and tasty lemon drizzle!

It's a great museum with lots to learn and see, and they focus on how Manchester contributed to the development of science and industry. The Cancer Research exhibition is also very well prepared and balanced, they present on an easily understandable way that what is this disease, what are some of the causes, how they research it, the evolution of treatments and lots of personal stories from different aspects. An make sure you try out the Experiments on the first floor, they fun for adults and children too. The biggest negative is that 3/4 of museum is closed (Power hall, the station and the 1830 warehouse) for renovations/transformation. I'm sure the end result is going to be amazing, but it's a big cut now.
