About Us
The Friends were formed over 60 years ago to promote, support and assist the improvement of the CIty of Salford museums and galleries in co-operation with their management and staff. They are independent and managed by a committee of volunteers.
As an example of their work, the Friends are proud to have supported the recent loan of the Radclyffe Bed from Antoun Sehnaoui and its installation at Ordsall Hall.
The Friends arrange talks and visits to other museums and previews of exhibitions as well as heritage talks at the museums. The Friends warmly welcome new members. By joining you will be supporting Salford’s heritage and also receive a newsletter three times a year with varied articles of local interest and details of past and forthcoming events.
