learned so much about history, politics and the people of england... very interesting. worth taking friends, children, parents, all ages and so accessable and easy to understand, and very interactive.. great design of a museum:)

First time we had come across this museum, but worth a visit. It has lots of detail and is interesting. Free admission.

A brilliant museum charting the history of working people in the North West. The exhibits are regularly updated. The food is really great and good value.

Great place to eat whilst spending the day at the museum. Lots to look at. Great venue to have business meetings and conferences. I often have a working lunch with my business partners. Great coffee and food menu to choose from. Service is always with a smile.
