Imperial War Museum North, which opened to visitors on 5 July 2002, has fast become one of the most popular visitor attractions in the North West, already receiving over 1,700,000 visitors. It is on the banks of the Manchester Ship Canal in Trafford, in a spectacular award-winning building designed by the internationally renowned architect, Daniel Libeskind.

The Museum tells the story of how war has affected the lives of British and Commonwealth citizens since 1914. It is the 5th branch of the Imperial War Museum and the first outside the South East of England. Recently named one of the top 10 English buildings of the last 100 years in the 2008 Rough Guide and voted one of the top 3 Large Visitor Attractions in England (Silver Award at Visit Britain’s Excellence in England Awards 2007), other notable awards include a Special Commendation (second-only to First Prize) in the European Museum of the Year Awards 2004 and Large Visitor Attraction of the Year 2006 in the Greater Manchester Tourism Awards and the North West Tourism Awards. The Museum has also been a finalist in the prestigious RIBA Stirling Prize.
