Story
We are proud to be part of the fabric of Salford and want to remain part of this wonderful community forever. Your donations will help us to maintain our services and our Grade 2 listed building for future generations
Salford Museum and Art Gallery has, since 1850, provided a cultural venue for the people of Salford and beyond to enjoy. We are proud to be a free museum and art gallery. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic we had to close our doors for the first time ever but were able to begin re-opening on the 4th August 2020.
Now that we have re-opened we need your help more than ever so that we can continue with our fantastic programmes of collections restoration, events, activities, exhibitions and learning.
As well as our programme of exhibitions we also provide subsidised learning programmes including free loan boxes for people living with dementia, school sessions and holiday activities for families. Many people will have fond memories of Lark Hill Place, our Victorian street, which opened to the public in 1957 and has been going strong ever since. We help to keep Salford's heritage alive and, as well as our displays, we also house Salford's local history library and provide support for those tracing their family history. The collection of photographs of Salford looked after by the local history library is one of our most popular resources, with many pictures now available online thanks to the work of a team of volunteers. Visit www.salford.photos and see if you can find the street that you lived on!
Thank you for your support!
