SALFORD MUSEUM ART GALLERY

The Royal Museum and Public Library, now known as the Salford Museum and Art Gallery, was first made available to the public in November 1850 in Peel Park, Salford, Greater Manchester. The gallery and museum focus on the development of Victorian art and architecture as well as Salford's history.

Salford is known to have a rich history of culture and creativity in the entire country. The variety of museums and galleries in the city offer chances for participation for tourists, residents, and families by fusing the old and the new.

Architecture from the Victorian and 20th centuries coexist intriguingly in the Salford Museum and Art Gallery. The Salford Museum and Art Gallery offers a wide range of engaging programmes and seminars, as well as famous permanent attractions including The Victorian Gallery and Lark Hill Place, so there is something for everyone.

At the Salford Museum, there is a local history library that is well-known for family history research, house histories, school projects, and Salford's cultural legacy.
