Science and Industry Museum, Manchester — Street View

1 October 2019 · Manchester

The Science and Industry Museum sits where Manchester's industrial past and its contemporary city meet on the same street corner. The glazed modern facade carries the bold signage; the Victorian brick flanking it carries two centuries of textile and engineering history. Cobblestones run from the foreground to the entrance under a heavy, cloud-loaded autumn sky — the material contrast doing more work than any single architectural gesture could alone.
