Description
There's loads to see and do! Stroll down our Victorian Street, Lark Hill Place and experience the sights and sounds of Victorian Salford with our original shop fronts and fascinating interiors. You can even test your strength and listen to the Victorian Top 20. Relax amidst the splendour of our Victorian Gallery and admire the paintings, pottery and fine art. With an ever changing temporary exhibition programme, from hands-on activities to modern art, there's always something going on at Salford Museum and Art Gallery!
Collections description
The LifeTimes Gallery tells the story of Salford past and present through the voices and memories of local residents. Come and see what you can discover about life in times gone by.
The Victorian gallery has a number of distinguished paintings and a series of marble statues, specially treated to allow hands-on explorations.
Our other galleries are host to a number of interactive, family-friendly and contemporary exhibitions.
