Salford Museum & Art Gallery
Salford Museum and Art Gallery in Manchester displays many collections of works of art. First opened in 1850, the museum houses permanent exhibitions in the Lifetimes Gallery charting the history of the city. The Victorian Gallery and the Local History Library contain collections of newspapers, documents and photographs which relate to Salford. Lark Hill Place is a reconstructed Victorian street.
Among the displays are paintings from the 16th to 21st Century, sculptures from the 20th to 21st century, Victorian fine arts, decorative arts, with displays of social and local history. There are also collections of pottery, Pilkington ceramics, Japanese ivory carvings, marble statues, furniture and household goods. Bronzes by Dame Elizabeth Frink and Sir Jacob Epstein, pen and ink work by George Louis Du Maurier.
Lark Hill Place was built in 1957 to represent a northern street of Victorian times, using sound recordings to offer a more realistic atmosphere to visitors as they peer inside the blacksmiths, chemist, grocers, shops and cottages. Some of the shop and cottage fronts from houses being demolished in central Salford were restored and used in Lark Hill Place, using authentic objects to fill them.
Free entry.

Manchester Jewish Museum
Sandwiched between Manchester Fort and the vibrant city centre, Manchester Jewish Museum is a hidden treasure.
The Museum is located in a former Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue on Cheetham Hill Road. Completed in 1874, it is the oldest surviving synagogue building in Manchester. The building is a beautiful example of Victorian architecture. As you walk around the museum you will notice some of the stunning features that the old synagogue has to offer such as the exquisite stained glass windows and the distinctive cast iron fitments.
Since the building became redundant as a result of the movement of the Jewish population away from area, it has been completely restored, returned to its former glory and listed Grade II*. With a compelling history to tell, the building needed a new purpose and in 1984 it re-opened as a museum.
The Museum chronicles the lives of Jewish people in Manchester and their contribution to making the City what it is today.
It has a warm and friendly atmosphere with knowledgeable and approachable staff and volunteers who offer every visitor to the museum a guided tour.
We welcome people of all ages and all beliefs into the Museum.
