The Science and Industry Museum occupies the site of the world's oldest surviving passenger railway station — Liverpool Road — in the heart of Castlefield. Its permanent galleries explore Manchester's pivotal role in the Industrial Revolution, from spinning cotton to splitting the atom.
The museum opened in 1983 inside the 1830 Liverpool and Manchester Railway terminus. It became part of the Science Museum Group in 2012, securing its status as one of the UK's flagship science institutions.
