About

IWM North is one of the five branches of the Imperial War Museums - the only one outside the South East of England.

Story

Visit the award-winning IWM North, part of Imperial War Museums, and experience amazing personal stories in Daniel Libeskind’s iconic building on the Quays.

Marking the Centenary of the First World War, the From Street to Trench exhibition explores the lives of people from the North West of England during the conflict. A changing programme of events, including tours and performances, also marks the occasion.

The award-winning Big Picture Show is a 360-degree audio-visual experience unique to IWM North. Using surround sound, projected moving images and photographs, the show brings to life people’s experiences of war. It immerses you in the action, creating a sensory experience which is totally involving, and often moving.

Dare you climb the 180 steps in the Air Shard or take the lift that rises at an angle to stand almost 100 feet in the air to see across Manchester, The Quays and beyond?

Tours are available daily, and storytelling, creative and object handling sessions are on every weekend and during school holidays.

Experience stunning views in the WaterShard Café & Kitchen where all our food and cakes are handmade daily with local produce.

Retro gifts and souvenirs are available in our onsite shop.

Reviews

First time visit and found it absolutely fascinating. Can't endorse this museum enough. Thought provoking, informative, tragic and sombre, all these emotions play out as you wonder around the exhibitions. A must visit.

Great museum! Very interesting new exhibit on the ethical scenarios facing aid workers.

A well curated museum on the impact of war, using multiple real experiences from the last 100 years. The building itself is very interesting. Some activities for the kids, but slightly sombre mood does mean less exciting than some museums for them. Good covid security measures.

Very impressive. Huge space with all War stuff around. Very clear description of everything. So important, it will be a very beautiful and emotional short movie on all the walls about life on the line of WWI. Highly recommended, you must go there.

Great museum. Very friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended to visit. Thank you.

Very good overall. The film projections are excellent, every hour on the hour. Exhibits are excellent but there just aren't enough of them for me. Shop good but expensive.

This is a comprehensive walk through modern western warfare. It is laid out in date format, which is great for those who learn chronologically. The displays are good and the didactics are quite informative. I'll definitely be visiting again. Like almost all British museums, entrance is free. However, parking is £5 for 4 hours.

Fantastic experience.  First time visit and cant wait to go back and take my time.  This place does not glamourise war, but tells frank truths about the horror of conflict.  The exhibits are so powerful. I would urge anyone to go

If u going to Manchester,  thats wery interesting point of trip

Socially distances history trip on Sunday. Only main exhibition space open today, as preparing for new display. Doesn't judge the conflicts, just displays what happened. 1914 to present day. Even as someone born in 1969 and grew up with 'The Troubles', learned something today
