Manchester

Three groups of friends from different primary schools visit the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester at night. With no adults around, they are free to go on their own journeys of discovery.

The museum contains artefacts dating from the Industrial Revolution up to today. Many of them are the ancestors of the technology the kids take for granted, such as phones, radios, record players and computers. There are also historical vehicles and industrial machines to explore.

Can museums and the historical objects they contain inspire kids brought up in an age of tech. Are they still relevant in the 21st century?
