Best History Museum in Partington

"One of five Imperial War Museums in the UK, Manchester’s addition to the repertoire is located in Media City. The striking aluminium-clad building houses a timeline of Britain’s conflicts since the First World War, drawing on different elements of war such as the involvement of women and the impact of science and technology on how wars are fought. Alongside the permanent exhibits are plenty of films and photographs showcasing what life was like during these conflicts.Imperial War Museum | © the yes man / Flickr"

"Manchester also has an important history when it comes to war and conflict over the past hundred years. The Imperial War Museum North (IWMN) is an interactive space built solely for the purpose of telling the most vital, powerful stories of war from across the region. The entire structure was built around an impressive, genuine fighter jet!"

"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."

"A lavish £12 million has been spent on the redevelopment of the People's History Museum on the Left Bank. Hopes are high for a showcase of working-class history where highlights include early political pamphlets, the world's oldest trade union banner, exhibits relating to the Peterloo Massacre and the desk on which Thomas Paine wrote The Rights of Man. The rolling programme of exhibitions starts with Carried Away – a collection of photographs documenting more than 100 years of protest across Britain, from the suffragettes to the miners' strike.Contact: phm.org.uk"

"This is another opening that will be the talk of the town when it reopens, as the Manchester Jewish Museum unveils its £6m transformation to the public for the first time. You'll have to be patient though - the Chetham Hill venue won't open until July 2, when it kicks things off with a MIF co-commissioned installation. General admission tickets will be available soon at manchesterjewishmuseum.com."

"Reopening from 2 July, daily, 10.00–16.00 (until 22.00 on Thursdays). Manchester Jewish Museum is thrilled to be reopening its doors following a major capital development redesign and extension. Two years in the making, the brand new museum now features a gallery, café, shop and learning studio and kitchen, as well as the stunning restoration of its 1874 Spanish and Portuguese synagogue."

"You'll find Manchester Jewish Museum in a former Spanish and Portuguese synagogue. The museum tells the stories, history and heritage of Jewish people of the area, via a collection of items. Located in the city centre, Manchester Jewish Museum is a…"

"Dress up as a Victorian, visit several rooms, have lunch in the café, or take part in a guided tour. A really fun way to learn about Victorian and Mancunian history. Highly recommended for children, book, music and history lovers."

"Royal Exchange Theatre, St Ann’s Square, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M2 7DH - Visit now. This former trading hall underwent a £32m redevelopment after being severely damaged by the 1996 IRA bomb in Manchester’s city centre – and has been delivering stellar productions from its unusual seven-sided glass and steel theatre-in-the-round (the biggest in the UK), and smaller (but still excellent) studio, ever since. Productions here are renowned – both Vanessa Redgrave and Helen Mirren have graced the Royal Exchange’s stage."

"This is truly an amazing building and its history also tells the history of Manchester. Not officially a museum, The Royal Exchange is definitely worth exploring. You only need to step into the great entrance hall to understand why you should pop in."

"One of my favorite things to do while traveling is to go see a show. Is there anything more fun than theatre?. During my time in Manchester, we went to see a local production of Frankenstein at the Royal Exchange Theatre."

"Manchester Opera House is the Palace Theatre’s little sister. It’s located on Quay Street, near Spinningfields. It is smaller than the Palace theatre however, there are still some amazing productions to see here."

"Another one that you'll have to exercise patience for is the RNCM (Royal Northern College of Music), which is - understandably - prioritising the return of students and tutors. You can see the latest updates at www.rncm.ac.uk."

"The Royal Northern College of Music is an internationally acclaimed conservatoire, as well as an eclectic performance venue delivering a diverse programme of music and opera performances."

"Venue has been able to open in some capacity at various stages since the pandemic began, filling the dancefloor with tables and turning itself into a 'nightpub'. The popular club on Jackson's Row was planning a grand return on 'Freedom Day' but, due to staff self-isolating, will now remain closed until Thursday July 22. Their first event back will be a requests night, where punters pick the music, followed by the Friday indie night Live Forever."

"The Venue is an extremely popular place to head in Manchester if you want a club that’s perfect for any type of group. Throughout the week this club has three events dedicated to a variety of different music genres so keep an eye out on what’s on when you’re there. Overall this nightclub is known for being extremely chilled out with a laid back atmosphere."

"One of Manchester’s best gig spots, as well as the perfect spot to grab a beer and socialise, YES is home to both Pepperoni Playboy and Döner Summer – both of which provide bloody good cheap grub suitable for meat-eaters, vegans and vegetarians. Pizza prices start at just £2.80 a slice and full pizzas from just £10, with vegan kebabs from Döner Summer starting at just £6. YES, 38 Charles Street, M1 7DB."

"YES sprawls over several floors, from a ground-floor bar to an entirely pink club room. They've added a beer garden at ground level now too but the roof terrace - dotted with hanging plants - is our favourite. They've got house cocktails on tap in the neighbouring attic bar too."
