Manchester Attractions
Urbis museum and garden
Urbis
Nestled in the heart of Manchester, Urbis is a unique and
interesting concept - an exhibition centre of city life across the
globe, created as part of an urban regeneration project. Featuring
interactive exhibits and fascinating exhibitions, the uber-modern
glass building, sometimes described as a 'glass ski slope,' is an
immediate Manchester landmark and visitors are drawn not only to
the exhibits, but to the building itself. The gallery on level one
hosts different exhibitions, while levels two, three and four house
permanent exhibits and displays. Levels five and six house Le Mont
Restaurant, providing incredible views of the city, as well as fine
dining, and there is also The Social, a restaurant and late night
venue that features live bands, DJs and more.
