Science and Industry Museum

The Science and Industry Museum occupies the site of the Liverpool Road Station, which opened in eighteen thirty as the world’s first inter-urban passenger railway station. You can identify the complex by the eighteenth-century and nineteenth-century brick warehouses and the station frontage, which remain as protected landmarks today. The museum tells the story of Manchester’s transformation into the first industrial city, showcasing how local innovations in textiles, power, and computing shaped the modern world.
