Best History Museum in Plumley

"4 km from city center 5 out of 12 places to visit in Manchester. The imperial war memorial of Manchester exhibits the main conflicts of the 20th century with the help of a wide range of displays, regular screenings of short films and other weapons. The aluminium clad building is worth watching."

"Walk through a timeline of history from the First World War to the present day. Again, although tickets are free, they must be booked in advance. Find out more and book here."

"People’s History Museum, Left Bank, Spinningfields, Manchester, M3 3ER - Visit now. Recent winner of the national “Kids In Museums” award, visit this national museum of democracy for interactive family galleries and regularly changing creative events. It’s never to early to learn about past struggles and ‘there have always been ideas worth fighting for’."

"Exhibits the 200-year story of British democracy, and the quest for equality for all. The People’s History Museum underwent a swanky redevelopment in 2010 and famously has the largest number of trade union items in the world, with over 400, with some dating back as far as the 19th century.

"This is another opening that will be the talk of the town when it reopens, as the Manchester Jewish Museum unveils its £6m transformation to the public for the first time. You'll have to be patient though - the Chetham Hill venue won't open until July 2, when it kicks things off with a MIF co-commissioned installation. General admission tickets will be available soon at manchesterjewishmuseum.com."

"Reopening from 2 July, daily, 10.00–16.00 (until 22.00 on Thursdays). Manchester Jewish Museum is thrilled to be reopening its doors following a major capital development redesign and extension. Two years in the making, the brand new museum now features a gallery, café, shop and learning studio and kitchen, as well as the stunning restoration of its 1874 Spanish and Portuguese synagogue."

"Dress up as a Victorian, visit several rooms, have lunch in the café, or take part in a guided tour. A really fun way to learn about Victorian and Mancunian history. Highly recommended for children, book, music and history lovers."
