Yeah, I'm disappointed that at MOSI they seem to have closed or stripped out galeries instead of maintaining and updating them. I remember the space exhibitions in the early 2000s still saying it was hoped we would return to the moon by 2000.I hope these cutbacks don't affect the exhibits at the museum, or they don't decide to change the format of the place. I've been visiting since I was a small child but still enjoy visiting just as much now I am in my 20's.
I went to the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester back in 2018 to see Tim Peake's Spacecraft. I had a good day but while walking around with my Mum we realised that certain things were missing.
And some of what is left feels very disconnected. For example the "1830 warehouse" has some exhibitions on the printing and communications industries, but the rest of the building is used as event space, which is great if there is a public event on there but otherwise it feels like an empty void. Similarly there is some stuff on waste-management near the now-closed electricity/gas/underground manchester galleries which is pretty isolated (IIRC you can get to it through the station exhibitions).
And then there was the whole ordsal chord thing, they were supposed to be re-structuring their track layout so they could still run trains, albiet on a shorter route, but that doesn't seem to have happened yet.
