The museum is on the site of the world's oldest surviving passenger railway station. With objects and archives that cover Manchester's development as Britain's first industrial city, the museum takes visitors through many subject areas such as textiles, power supply, engineering, computing and aviation.
The museum is one of the Connected Earth partner museums. Its new gallery - Connecting Manchester - is situated in the historic 1830 Warehouse. Here the many aspects of communications and display artefacts from BT's distributed heritage collection can be explored. The Gallery tells the story of communications in the Manchester region, and how new communication technologies assisted the city's commercial and industrial development.
