Imperial War Museum NorthFree: All time

One of five branches of the Imperial War Museum, The IWM North explores the impact of modern conflicts on people and society. The museum occupies a site overlooking the Manchester Ship Canal in Trafford Park, an area which during the Second World War was a key industrial centre and consequently heavily bombed during the Manchester Blitz in 1940. The museum building was designed by architect Daniel Libeskind and was recognised for its impressive architecture. The museum’s content do not pale in comparison either. It  features a permanent exhibition of chronological and thematic displays, supported by hourly audiovisual presentations which are projected throughout the gallery space.
