Museum of Science and Industry

Where are we?

Our address is: Liverpool Road, Castlefield, Manchester M3 4FP

Our main entrance is on Lower Byrom Street. This takes you straight into the Great Western Warehouse and to our information desk – the ideal starting point for your visit.

Arriving by train

Our nearest railway station is Deansgate, which you can get to via Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Oxford Road railway stations.

Whether your train into the city takes you to Manchester Victoria, Manchester Oxford Road or Manchester Piccadilly, you can get to us on foot, or by taking the free Metroshuttle city bus.

Arriving by free city bus (Metroshuttle)

The free Metroshuttle number 2 bus (green line) stops right outside the museum on Lower Byrom Street, however all 3 Metroshuttle services stop nearby on Byrom Street in Spinningfields.

There's currently no step-free access at the Deansgate-Castlefield tram stop. If you need a step-free route to the museum on the tram network, we recommend using St Peter's Square instead.

There is limited free parking for motorbikes in our car park.
