The exhibition of over 100 robots will be the most significant collection of humanoid robots ever displayed. The exhibition runs through to 3rd September 2017.

The exhibition features a collection dating from a 16th-century mechanical monk to robots from science fiction and modern-day research labs.

Visitors will be able to interact with some of the 12 working robots on display. Among many other highlights will be an articulated iron manikin from the 1500s, Cygan, a 2.4m tall 1950s robot with a glamorous past and one of the first walking bipedal robots. 

The Robot exhibition will be available for corporate hire as an add-on to one of the museum’s gallery spaces. Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy out-of-hours access to the new exhibition as part of any event.

The Robot exhibition has capacity for 150 guests at any one time. For larger events the Science Museum will arrange staggered viewing slots.

Works include the installation of 4k digital projection in the main Nucleus Auditorium, as well as adding multi-screen projection units and upgrading the technology in the seminar suites.

A series of eight flexible meeting rooms located next to the Nucleus Auditorium will accommodate from ten to 150 delegates with projection, screen and PA equipment and  acoustic walling for a variety of room lay outs. There is natural daylight throughout

Alderley Park Conference Centre is situated in 400 acres of Cheshire parkland, 12 miles south of Manchester City centre and five miles from Manchester Airport. The M6 motorway is a 20 minute drive away. There are trains every 20 minutes to London from nearby Wilmslow Station.
