About Salford Museum and Art Gallery

Ready to discover a true local gem? Take the kids to Salford Museum and Art Gallery and journey back in time with a fascinating collection of permanent and temporary exhibitions. Victorian art in the Gallery, local history in the Library, a Victorian street re-creation within the museum - there’s so much to be seen AND entry is absolutely free!

You and your little time travellers will have the chance to fully immerse in the atmosphere of the past with a walk down Lark Hill Place, the museum’s famous Victorian street. Explore the cobbled street, surrounded by the sounds of horse carriages, happy kids and busy Victorians going about their daily business. Peeking into the toy shop window is sure to intrigue any curious child!
