Famous for our Victorian street, Lark Hill Place, we also have galleries and changing exhibitions. Salford Museum and Art Gallery is a hidden gem.
(521)

Situated close to the centre of Manchester it has been open as a museum since 1850, and continues to offer a varied programme of exhibitions and activites to this day. Many people remember visiting Lark Hill Place when they were growing up and 'The Street' is still in the museum now.
