What's on

Celebrate brilliant brains and snotty science this summer. From brains to bogies, explore how brilliant our bodies really are with a jam-packed summer programme inspired by our sense-sational new exhibition, Operation Ouch! Brains, Bogies and You.

A landmark free exhibition and public engagement project that will reveal how transatlantic slavery shaped Manchester's growth.

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.

Journey through Manchester's rich legacy of industrial innovations, scientific discoveries and ideas that started life in Manchester and went on to change the world.

Join our Highlights volunteers for a free talk about the Science and Industry Museum.
