The new gallery at the Science and Industry Museum, in the basement of a 19th-century warehouse, will be used for special exhibitions
London-based architecture practice Carmody Groarke has completed a new Special Exhibitions Gallery for the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester. Located on the lower ground floor of a Grade II-listed warehouse dating to the 1880s, the 725 sq m flexible gallery is the first project to be completed as part of the museum’s long-term restoration and renovation programme.
The Science and Industry Museum is located on the site of the historic Liverpool Road Station, and comprises a series of built structures including the world’s oldest surviving passenger railway station, the world’s first railway goods warehouse and a shipping shed known as the Power Hall.
