Happy 25th birthday to us! Since opening our doors in 2000, Lowry has welcomed 18.5 million visitors and we’ve been pulling out all the stops with a spectacular programme of celebratory events, and exhibitions.
NOW OPEN: LOWRY 360 is our FREE immersive experience where you will step into the world of LS Lowry’s iconic painting, Going to the Match. A unique collaboration with Barcelona’s renowned creative studio, Layers of Reality, you will explore in stunning super-high resolution a painting famously described as the finest football painting ever. This ambitious and exciting new experience has been made possible thanks to incredible support from The Law Family Charitable Foundation.
Together We Create will fund ten community groups to bring to life their own inspiring projects - supporting the talent that makes Salford extraordinary.
In our Lyric Theatre, you can enjoy the Olivier Award-winning play Dear England, brought to us by the National Theatre, whilst everyone in the family can enjoy Quentin Blake and Me, a fun, hands-on and FREE exhibition of illustrations by this beloved children's author.
And there is still much, much more to come! This is more than just an anniversary - it's a must-see celebration of creativity, community, and culture.
Relive some of the moments we have already enjoyed as part of our celebrations... including Gods of Salford and LOWRY 360
