What's on

Watch volunteers run our replica of the Manchester Small-Scale Experimental Machine, nicknamed 'Baby', and see how far computing has come since 1948.

Go back in time to the working mills of 150 years ago, experience the thundering sounds of the machinery and find out what life was like for thousands of mill workers.

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

The Science and Industry Museum tells the story of the ideas and innovations that transformed Manchester into the world's first industrial city and beyond. Now, a landmark free exhibition and public engagement project will reveal how transatlantic slavery shaped the city's growth.
