South face and entrance of the Imperial War Museum North by the Salford Quays.

The main entrance is through the base of the air shard, a 55m high tower which is mostly an empty space frame structure. The cladding on the air shard is an open latice allowing wind to blow through the tower.

Near the top of the tower is viewing platform looking across the Manchester ship canal towards the Lowry centre on the Salford Quays.
