Museum of Science and Industry
When it comes to exploring the history, science and industry of Manchester, then the Museum of Science and Industry is where you need to be. The museum highlights the journey of Manchester, considered as the first industrial city in the world, through the industrial revolution it underwent, to its present status. It does this through interactive exhibitions, shows, demonstrations and through the dedicated staff at the Museum of Science and Industry. Manchester is usually associated with industrial revolution and scientific innovations. The museum is based on the site where the oldest passenger railway station in the world exists.
