Dedicated to the people and ideas that have shaped our world, the museum offers an interactive and stimulating experience for all ages.
This October, Manchester Science Festival takes over the museum for 10 awesome days of discovery and entertainment. Always a highlight in the cultural calendar, this year’s programme brings a cosmic line-up of family-friendly events, adult-only happenings, immersive installations, live performance and interactive fun.
Meanwhile, must-see exhibitions continue at the Science and Industry Museum. Reflect on the collective power of medical innovation and fast-acting scientists in Injecting Hope: The Race for a COVID-19 Vaccine, a free exhibition shining a light on the global and local response to the coronavirus outbreak. Plus, be sure to visit Stephen Hawking at Work to see extraordinary belongings and fascinating objects from the world-renowned theoretical physicist’s office.
Continuing its run during weekends and throughout school holidays is Power Up, an interactive gaming experience where you can play your way through five decades of the best video games. We’re thrilled that you can now purchase a new annual pass – meaning you can return as many times as you like over 12 months for just £15.00.
