What's on

Experitots is a regular event specially designed for children aged 0–4. During these playful sessions, toddlers and their adults are encouraged to play, explore and experiment together.

From story time and imaginative play to Makaton-friendly adventures and curious moments, there's lots to inspire and entertain little learners on a visit to the Science and Industry Museum.

What will you build, sense and discover? Play and explore science in action in Experiment, our free interactive gallery designed for the whole family to enjoy together.

Manchester is built on cotton. Our Textiles Gallery tells the story of the people, products and pioneers that made it and their continuing legacy in our city and our world today.

Explore incredible objects, including some never seen by the public before, from Professor Stephen Hawking’s office.

Find out more about Manchester's Rolls-Royce as part of our Revolution Manchester gallery.

Uncover stories of our historic site while exploring our beautiful garden, featuring plants, trees and flowers that have been carefully selected to represent the goods that would have once been transported here on the railway.

Especially for Baby Builders and Mini Engineers, our Construction Packs contain everything you need to ‘work’ around the museum.
