Rare items to go on display in Manchester as part of new exhibition exploring life of Stephen Hawking

One of Manchester's top attractions is preparing to unveil a brand new display dedicated to the remarkable life of a world-renowned theoretical physicist later this month.

Launching at the end of May at the Science and Industry Museum, 'Stephen Hawking at Work' will explore the life of the physicist through significant objects from his office. The display will provide insights into Hawking’s time as a scientist, science communicator, and as a person who lived with motor neurone disease.

The new exhibition arrives as the museum prepares for a busy May half-term, which will also see families get stuck into a new activity based around robotics and digital discovery. At the end of the month, it will also bid farewell to its 'Turn It Up: The power of music' exhibition - a world-first installation that launched as part of last year's Manchester Science Festival.
