Britain’s top cities for museums & galleries – Manchester
Manchester’s museums & galleries
Manchester is an exciting place to visit right now. Known as the world’s first industrial city, it has been able to completely reinvent itself in the past decade and is now known as one of the most exciting and interesting cities in
Britain.
More than football
To many of you, the city is known as the home of Manchester United FC (www.manutd.com/), the enormously successful football club, but Manchester is also where you will find a wealth of leading museums and galleries located in chic districts of this great city. Your hardest decision will be deciding where to visit first.
Cutting-edge buildings
Urbis (www.urbis.org.uk/) is a brilliant example of cutting-edge ‘museums’. It’s a glass-walled centre for urban culture that explores city life, from graffiti to modern architecture. Even more impressive is the
Imperial War Museum North (north.iwm.org.uk/). In a building designed by international architect Daniel Libeskind, this waterfront attraction uses innovative interactive displays to show how war can change lives.
