Imperial War Museum North

IWM North
One of the most talked about Museums in Britain today, Imperial War Museum North is about people and their stories, about how lives have been and still are shaped by war and conflict.

The award-winning building by international architect Daniel Libeskind is a symbol of our world torn apart by conflict and is situated at The Quays, a waterfront destination two miles from Manchester city centre.

PLEASE NOTE: The Museum will be closing at 4.30pm on Thursday 20th November. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
