Salford Museum and Art Gallery

Located in Peel Park, the museum houses several exhibition galleries showcasing a collection of artworks and artefacts that explore the city's rich heritage, alongside a temporary exhibition programme.

Victorian art

Using salon-style hanging, popular in the era, the Victorian Gallery displays the museum’s collection of artworks from the 19th century. Featured artists include Christian-Ludwig Bokelmann, John Charles Dollman and John Frederick Herring. The museum also houses a small collection of British Modern Art.

Lark Hill Place

Visit a Victorian street where it is always tea-time on a winter’s evening. The street reconstruction is made with original shop fronts and objects salvaged from the rebuilding of Salford in 1945. Shops include a toy shop, a general store, a music shop and the Blue Lion pub.

Pilkington Ceramics

The museum houses a social history collection reflecting the lives of people in Salford. This includes a selection of items of Pilkington’s Lancastrian Pottery made at the Clifton factory in Salford between 1889 to 2008. Appointments can be made to view the reserve collection and archive.
