IWM North

IWM North's multi-award winning building, designed by Daniel Libeskind, represents a globe shattered by conflict.

Inside, we continue to explore the impact of war by bringing the stories of real people to life through powerful and thought-provoking exhibitions and displays.

You can also experience the Big Picture Show, take a tour or join in with family activities during your visit as well as enjoy the spectacular views over The Quays and Manchester from the viewing platform in the 29-metre-high Air Shard.
