"Manchester is a city of firsts: the first modern industrial city, first place the atom was split, home to the first digital computer. It’s a legacy that’s left the city with many old warehouses and a ton of scientific devices and machines that need exhibiting. The Science and Industry Museum, inside what was originally the railway terminus of the first inter-city railroad, uses these objects to bring to life the stories that created the modern world.One of the most exciting exhibits is “Baby,” the room-sized computer from 1948 that was the progenitor for our modern Digital Age. Built by academics at the University of Manchester, “Baby” can now be seen in action when demonstrations are given by volunteers on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. In addition to the demonstrations, kids and adults are encouraged to explore and get hands-on with the other experiments, inventions, and innovations. It’s even got a mini steam train and a carousel. Entry is free, and the museum is open daily between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM." - MATADOR_NETWORK
