What's on

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

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.

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.

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

Join a quest to return a bear left at Liverpool Road Station to its home in this brand-new sensory story time.

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