"Opposite the Lowry on the south side of the Manchester Ship Canal in Trafford Park is one of five branches for the Imperial War Museum, opened in 2002. This remarkable building, with three interlocking metallic shards (invoking air, earth and water), was designed by Daniel Libeskind and intended to induce a feeling of disorientation apt for war. The entrance is in the 55-metre-high “air shard”, while the permanent exhibition is on the first floor in the “earth shard”."

"Of the city's older buildings, the real gem is the John Rylands Library on Deansgate, a little masterpiece of Victorian Gothic nestling amid a forest of shops and office blocks. From the outside, the library looks so like a medieval church, with its turrets and stained-glass windows, that it comes as a surprise to learn that it is barely a hundred years old. Inside, it is a bibliophile's dream, a warren of dusty, book-lined rooms, with pride of place going to an original fragment of the Old Testament.Contact: library.manchester.ac.uk"

"The John Rylands Library is breathtaking in a kind of ‘Hogwarts sort of way’. Named for John Rylands but actually founded by his wife, it is the kind of place where you never stop looking up, even when you manage to score an alcove in the soaring Reading Room for yourself."
