Following a major repair and conservation programme, the Power Hall (The Andrew Law Gallery) re-opened in 2026 at the Science and Industry Museum (SIM).
Experience the sights, smells and sounds of the engine-driven ideas and industry that started in Manchester and went on to change the world.
Rediscover your favourite engines and dive into newly revealed stories.
Journey through a century of innovation and experience the industrial beauty of a Grade II listed building, once a hub for shipping global products, now home to one of the UK’s largest collections of historic engines that tell the story of how industry in Manchester shaped the world as we know it today.
