Description

Imperial War Museum North

 

Winner - Enjoy England's Large Visitor Attraction of the Year 2009

 

One of the most celebrated Museums in Britain today, Imperial War Museum North is about people and their stories, about how lives have been and still are shaped by war and conflict. The award-winning building by international architect Daniel Libeskind is a symbol of our world torn apart by conflict and is situated at The Quays, a waterfront destination 2 miles from Manchester city centre.

 

 

Imperial War Museum North uses thought-provoking and innovative display techniques such as the Big Picture, which puts you right in the centre of the experience using a dramatic display of projected images and sound. The Main Exhibition Space also houses thousands of objects from a T34 Russian tank and Harrier jump-jet to clothing, diaries and works of art, as well as a series of family interactive Action Stations.

 

 

The Museum has a shop selling gifts and souvenirs and the WaterShard Cafe overlooking the Quays, offering a selection of hot and cold refreshments throughout the day.
