Explore the aftermath of war at the Imperial War Museum North.

Located at Salford Quays in Manchester, the Imperial War Museum North is a unique museum that focuses on the impact of war on people and society. The museum opened in 2002 and is open to the public. 📷 The exhibitions at IWM North not only showcase military equipment but also focus on the impact of war on the lives of ordinary people. The exhibits include precious memorabilia, personal photos, audio-visual materials, and oral histories from 20th and 21st-century conflicts. These exhibits vividly tell personal stories from the world wars and contemporary conflicts, showing how war profoundly changed people's lives. 🌟 Highlights: The museum's immersive "Big Picture Show" is a major highlight. At regular intervals, the walls of the main exhibition hall become giant projection screens, showing images and sounds from war history, providing an immersive experience for visitors. (I was too busy experiencing it to take photos, so if you're interested, you should go and experience it for yourself. It's much better than photos!) ❤ Recommended reasons: The museum is one of the most educational museums in the UK and is open to the public for free all year round. Its innovative exhibitions, stunning design, and unique perspective on war make it a must-see attraction in Manchester! It also reminds people of the value of peace! 🚉 Transportation: Take the tram from Manchester Deansgate-Castlefield station (❌ not the train station, don't confuse it with the train station next door, the tram station is connected to the train station by a bridge) (Trafford Center line) to Imperial War Museum station, then walk to the museum. It's very convenient. 📝 Tips: ❗️ You can take photos, but please turn off the flash. 📸 ❗️ The museum is free, and the exhibition hall is upstairs. ❗️ The museum has a café where you can rest if needed. ❗️ Please follow the rules and do not make loud noises. ❗️ Do not touch the exhibits.
