Over 10,000 readers and members of the public voted online for the M&H award, and MOSI came top as their favourite attraction, beating off competition from Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, Bristol Art Gallery and Museum, and Museum of the Order of St John.
Tony Hill, Director of MOSI said: "Awards are always great to win but they take on a special meaning when the public vote is the measure by which you are judged. Last year MOSI was visited by almost 640,000 visitors and this award confirms that we are not only the most visited museum in the North West but also the highest rated."
MOSI has recently undergone a £9million redevelopment of its Great Western Warehouse with a brand new gallery called Revolution Manchester, which showcases the city’s greatest innovations and includes Britain’s largest indoor video wall. The redeveloped building, which was supported by NWDA, includes an extended interactive Experiment gallery, new, dedicated conference and education suites, as well as a new restaurant and coffee shop. Last year MOSI also invested in a popular new 4D Theatre, which envelopes visitors in an all-round cinematic experience: In addition to 3D effects viewers are truly part of the on-screen action, with moving seats, air, water spray, snow and bubbles.
