Topics included are Frontline Medicine, and how it,s shaped our lifes.
A 360 deg audio visual,bringing to life people experiences of war.

Sorry, but I've got to disagree with you on that. I went with Chriskay a while back and we both found the place really interesting with plenty to see. Well worth the few shekels to go to the viewing platform. Only a short walk over the bridge from the tram stop if you are going on public transport. Manchester tram system - bloody marvellous!!

must of filled up a bit since we went, most of it was just empty space when we were there, thinking about it though was probably around 5 years ago when we went??

That may be your definition of a short walk: I make it about 1/2 mile. Oh, and it's two bridges.
Seriously, it's well worth a visit but because of limited parking, I'd suggest train/tram.
£11.60 return Lime St.- Piccadilly then £2.90 return tram Piccadilly - Harbour City (Eccles line).
