What's on

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.

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.

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

Calling all Mini Movers! Join us as we roll, clank, whirr and clack our way round the Textiles Gallery.
