About

We are delighted to announce that you can now pre-book your tickets to attend from 15th July 2021. Click the link above or find out more at the Salford Museum website. The Museum is free to visit, but donations are welcome.

You Belong Here is a new exhibition at the heart of the city-wide creative programme Rediscovering Salford, which highlights and celebrates Salford’s parks and green spaces.

The exhibition, launching at Salford Museum & Art Gallery in June 2021, presents five new artist commissions alongside original archive material, photographs and historic artworks. In collaboration with the University of Salford Art Collection, Salford based artists Jack Brown, Cheddar Gorgeous, Hilary Jack and Lizzie King have each been exploring the city since Autumn 2020, and present exciting new work in a range of media. In Peel Park, augmented reality artwork The Storm Cone by Laura Daly, produced in collaboration with University students and staff, will be available to explore on your phone or tablet. Together, they aim to share some of the city’s unique history, and offer new narratives about our local natural environments.

In addition, new digital artwork Circadian Bloom by Anna Ridler will premiere at the Museum in early Summer, sharing the themes of nature, history, and re-discovery; and in Autumn artist Lowri Evans will share a new participatory project inspired by Salford’s trees.

A programme of talks, events and online content will accompany the exhibition. Please check back regularly for new announcements!
