MSI, Manchester

I fear its gone the same way as other museums that took the government’s shilling and went back to free admission.
They have to supply so much space for school parties they made space by removing the displays.
Hendon is worse they took the corporate shilling as well and the side galleries (not to mention the Dermot Boyle wing) were lost to displays.
Hendon also comitted the cardinal sin for museums during its redesign. – Its possible to go around the museum (all parts) and NOT pass through the shop.

Anyone know of future plans for the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry Aviation Hall?

Roger Smith.

Why do you ask?

I was there a few weeks ago and while the aeroplanes looked very well cared for, the Hall itself was shabby, with lots of disused display space on the upper gallery.

I hope it will get a make-over soon.
