With the eerie excess of the aluminium that is the imperial war museum north is one of the city's treasures. The soaring 29 metre tower is accessed by a peculiar angled lift ride, but it's worth and for the view over the city and salford quays. Focusing on real people's experiences of war, this place doesn't preach but the strikingly audio/visual display certainly makes you question your conceptions of war especially in the world we live in when governments are so eager to use force on both innocent people and on other weaker governments. Highly recommended.
