The Science and Industry Museum celebrates its 40th birthday this weekend — and is hosting a series of special events to mark the occasion this weekend.
There will also be ‘spotlight talks’ over the celebratory weekend. The free, 10-minute events will focus on the pioneering Liverpool Road Station and how it revolutionised the world, exploring how the station’s buildings were transformed into a museum and how that museum is now setting out a vision for a sustainable future.
From here, visitors will be invited to explore its history, including its role in the birth of the industrial revolution, and imagining what life would have been like for the railway workers and passengers who filled the site almost two centuries ago. Across the same weekend, visitors can also enjoy a free ride to the museum and other cultural venues in the city. In celebration of Heritage Open Day the Museum of Transport, Greater Manchester is offering the opportunity to hop on board one of its heritage vehicles.
