Life through the Lens: snapshots of Salford's past
February 2010 until Spring 2011
To celebrate 10 years of Lifetimes, this exhibition shows the very best photographs from the collections held at the museum and local history library. Focusing on the themes of dress and fashion, local characters and the changing environment, these photographs tell Salford's story from the perspective of local people.
Families can enjoy the climb in camera, a dark room set up with a photographer's equipment and a shadow puppet theatre. There is also the Lifetimes Link room with all the back issues and Captions Corner where you can put your own caption with some of the weird and wonderful images we discovered.
Dreamfest by Constance Fearn
19 June 2010 to 26 September 2010
Constance uses the architecture of Salford and Manchester as her inspiration to generate expressive and spontaneous rapidly drawn poster paint sketches, which breathe and move.
Her colour work transforms the stunning but drab looking cityscape into vibrant and textured panaramas which reflect the iridescence of Eastern and Mediterranean art, which she uses as inspiration.
Constance lives in Salford and is a volunteer at the START in Salford Arts Project she is also currently working towards a BA in Fine Art.
Selection from the Collection
26 June 2010 to 31 October 2010
To compliment this year's play exhibition, On The Move, we will be selecting some of the best transport pieces from the museum's collections. Artwork, prints, photographs and objects will illustrate Salford transport in the air, on the roads and across water.
On The Move
17 July 2010 to 7 November 2010
This year's family friendly play exhibition takes a look at transport. Move your way through the gallery to experience how people have got from A to B over the last 150 years in Salford, from the times when feet were the main mode of transport, to horse drawn trams and Salford's buses.
