Imperial War Museum

Tourist attraction in Greater Manchester

Imperial War Museum North

Tel: 44 (0)161 836 4000, Fax: ,
Greater Manchester, M17 1TE

Opened at The Quays in Trafford Park, Manchester in July 2002 and created to give northern audiences access to the national collections, IWM North focuses on how war shapes lives. The building is an attraction in itself, and is expected to be visited by around 400,000 visitors a year. It is an inspired concept of internationally renowned architect, Daniel Libeskind, who also designed the adjoining Lowry Footbridge. Polish-born in 1946, and with his main office now in Berlin, Libeskind overcame severe budget cuts - from £40 million down to around £28.5 million when the millennium lottery grant failed to materialise, to produce this masterpiece, the first of only 3 buildings by the architect. His other two include the Jewish Museum in Berlin and the Shoah Centre also in Manchester. The style, typical of Libeskind's work, has become known as "defragmentation", and it departs dramatically from conventional vertical and right angle-built architecture in its free-flowing forms and asymmetric geometry. The original plan had called for concrete, the final stainless steel sheet cladding came as a result of financial constraints. However, Libeskind rose to the challenge - never one to shirk tough challenges. Nearby you will find a wealth of cultural, sporting and leisure attractions to appeal to all ages and interests including The Lowry, the Manchester United Museum and Lowry Outlet Mall.....
