Best History Museum in Arbury

"Opposite the Lowry on the south side of the Manchester Ship Canal in Trafford Park is one of five branches for the Imperial War Museum, opened in 2002. This remarkable building, with three interlocking metallic shards (invoking air, earth and water), was designed by Daniel Libeskind and intended to induce a feeling of disorientation apt for war. The entrance is in the 55-metre-high “air shard”, while the permanent exhibition is on the first floor in the “earth shard”."

"The People's History Museum is the national center for the collection, conservation, interpretation, and study of material relating to the history of working people in Britain. Located in a former pumping station, the museum showcases the history of British democracy and its impact on the population, as well as extensive collections of artifacts relating to trade unions and women's suffrage. Two other museums close by are the Manchester Jewish Museum, with its collection dealing with the city's Jewish community, and the Museum of Transport, with its many old buses and other vehicles belonging to the city transport services."

"Recently re-opened after a major facelift, the PHM chronicles 200 years of people's history in Manchester - beginning with the Peterloo Massacre of 1819 and ending in the present day. A visit to the PHM is a great way to understand more about the events, politics, people and tragedies that are woven into the fabric of the city that you now call home.

"There are two new displays of both powerful and thought-provoking artworks including Shane D’Allessandro's striking painting of the Union Jack - an ode to the Windrush generation capturing the Caribbean contribution to British Society. The painting has a personal story for Shane whose paternal grandparents were part of the Windrush generation and who supported Britain during and after World War Two. Lambeaux (scraps) by Giles Eli-Dit-Cosaque is a fantasised diary reconstructed from disparate elements."

"The Maritime Museum in Liverpool is home to numerous fascinating exhibitions about the many thousands of emigrants who left Britain via the Mersey for North America between 1830 and 1930. The museum also boasts an impressive collection of artifacts related to seafaring in Liverpool, stretching back in time as far as its establishment as a fishing port in the 13th century. This rich history is illustrated with model ships, workshops, and historic vessels."

"As well as a fantastic museum, the Merseyside Maritime Museum is a treasure house of architectural and mechanical invention. It charts the industrial history of Liverpool docks, its shipbuilding heritage and its trade around the world."

"Everybody loves a good museum, and Liverpool’s World Museum is one of the best in Britain.

"Liverpool's World Museum has extensive collections of archaeology, ethnology and the natural and physical sciences. The museum opened in 1851, although was originally known as Derby Museum after the Earl of Derby's natural history collection."

"One of the more recent additions to the museum scene is the Museum of Liverpool. Having only been opened in 2011, this is a great museum to visit – and it’s free!. The modern building took over the former Museum of Liverpool Life and can be found right on the waterfront."

"The Museum of Liverpool is the newest museum in the city’s catalogue and celebrates the extensive culture and history of Liverpool and its people. The museum is a must-see for anyone keen to swat up on local heritage, as sporting and creative achievements are recognised."

"A post shared by Museum of Liverpool (@museumofliverpool) on Mar 3, 2019 at 5:17am PST. During your stay in Liverpool, you should make time to visit one of its world-class museums. If you can only go to one, we recommend the Museum of Liverpool."

"As well as the Beatles Story, you’ll also find the Merseyside Maritime Museum, the Tate Liverpool, and the International Slavery Museum. Finally, football fans might want to take a stadium tour of Anfield – the home of Liverpool FC."

"Vermilion is one of the best places to eat Asian food in Manchester. The luxurious restaurant can be found just shy of Etihad Stadium and is brimming with eclectic plates that range spans countries from Thailand to India, make sure to hit it up when you fancy a diverse range of dishes."

"An intimate bar, a handsome dining room, impeccable service and knockout steaks and seafood - Hawksmoor offers a consistently excellent dining experience, so it's a failsafe for Valentine's Day. Based inside an old Victorian courthouse, the Deansgate restaurant is an impressive but understated setting for a date with its tiled walls, parquet floors and comfy leather chairs. The larger cuts of steak like chateaubriand, porterhouse, T-bone or bone-in prime rib are made for sharing with your Valentine."

"A post shared by Hawksmoor Manchester (@hawksmoormanchester). If it’s fine dining your after for your first Sunday roast in the city once restrictions lift, then you really need look no further than Hawksmoor Manchester, where a slow-roast rump or prime rib for up to three people comes complete with beef dripping roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, carrots, greens, roasted shallots and lashings of bone marrow and onion gravy. There’s also a range of puddings to finish off with as well."

"You know the Hawksmoor drill: great steaks, banging cocktails, friendly staff and the epic dessert that must not be called a giant Ferrero Rocher. This Manchester outpost also boasts a separate bar for pre-prandial sips."

"Where: Liverpool Street, on an unlikely crossroads in Salford. Best Dish: Pig’s trotters with chilli, onion, spring onion and sesame. This restaurant of many names (Mr Fresh? Peking Duck?) offers a no holds barred Chinese menu with a Beijing accent, filled with gizzards, feet, tongue, lungs, kidneys, trotters and stewed chicken with mushrooms."

"Chinese is one of those foods that you never stop craving – so it’s pretty handy for us Salford students that the Peking Duck is only a 5 minute drive (or 15 minute walk) from the main campus. With unbeatable prices, the Peking Duck will satisfy for sure. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!"
