New drone footage of Manchester’s Science and Industry Museum has been released showing the impressive progress of its current multi-million-pound restoration project. The footage, which gives an aerial view of the work being done to the site - particularly The Power Hall roof - was captured by Boca Films and has been used to create a short film.
The footage also shows some of the repairs being made to other parts of the museum, as well as future plans for the site. The seven-acre restoration programme is underway to carry out “critical restoration” work and reveal new spaces for visitors of the museum to enjoy.
The plan is to transform its Victorian buildings and create improved gallery experiences, which include the iconic Power Hall, where the term ‘Northern Powerhouse’ was coined, and the 1830 Station and Warehouse – some of the world’s earliest railway buildings in the world’s first industrial city. The works are in addition to the massive environmental improvements being made across the site and the opening-up of new spaces for visitors, such Special Exhibitions Gallery, which hosts science exhibitions and experiences, including the current exhibition, Amazônia .
