Rejected petition Keep Manchester Museum of Science & Industry (MOSI) Open - Threatened Closure

More details

Manchester’s most popular visitor attraction could close in order to keep the London Science Museum open due to government budget cuts. We hereby petition the Government to provide assurance that such plans will not be allowed to happen.

LAST year MOSI attracted more than 830,000 visitors. It is at the heart of tourism in the region.

It is also the largest science museum in Europe in terms of size and has one of the most important collections. Those collections are housed in buildings of international importance.
