Salford Museum & Art Gallery

“Free entry, food was excellent. The art exhibitions and Victorian street were very good and interesting. Shop had many interesting leaflets and books on old Salford. Also on the same site are the genealogy research resources.”

“Wanted to visit this museum specially for the Victorian street. We were spending few days in Mancheser from the South and took our car to visit the museum as it was mentioned there was parking available. However, the parking was very limited so we had to park in a nearby car park which was quite expensive. So we couldn't stay longer and only had a quick visit of the museum unfortunately. We only visited Lark Hill which was like stepping back in time. It's quite dark inside so you can grab a lantern and wander around. It's quite small but there are many details to see. It's a shame we can't enter inside the buildings which is usually the case in similar museum. The only downside was that the staff was a bit too present and it was hard to appreciate peacefully.”

“Great Victorian street (Lark Hill place), with original shop fronts and objects from those shops which were recovered and displayed in the museum, sounds and atmosphere to replicate the dark Victorian period in England (the staff provide a lantern to see better the objects). The house of dolls in the upper floor and some of the paintings in one of the upper gallery are also highlights of my visit. Two of the galleries were closed for set up of new exhibitions but overall very good!”
