About IWM North
The multi-award winning IWM North opened on the banks of the Manchester Ship Canal on 5 July 2002 and has since welcomed over two million visitors. It is the youngest of IWM’s five branches and the first outside the south-east of England. It is the first UK building to be designed by world-renowned architect Daniel Libeskind and represents a globe shattered by conflict.
2012 marks our tenth anniversary. Since opening:
- We have won nearly 30 awards
- We have held 41 special exhibitions
- We have run over 5,500 object handling sessions
- Over 600,000 visitors have had at least a 10-minute learning experience with a member of our staff
- Over 100 members from across the northern regions have joined Veterans North, from Second World War veterans to those who served in more recent conflicts
Over 300 individuals have benefitted from our award-winning volunteer programme
