点评:Had a great visit to The Lowry while on a weekend in Manchester.
As a child I loved LS Lowry’s paintings, and seeing them for real they turn out to be even more interesting and beautiful - an amazingly quirky mix of lively and sad, colourful and drab, simple and complex.
Truly great art - very special to Manchester - not to be missed.
The 6-minute 360-immersive experience gave a brilliant intro. And the work in the three gallery rooms was more varied than I’d expected - not just oil paintings of factories, but seascapes and hill-scenes, drawings and portraits.
The captions and other info are just right, the staff were very warmly welcoming, and the whole visit was FREE - thank you, Salford Council.
The Lowry is an impressive modern building on a wide canal basin, and we had good cake and coffee in its big glass-fronted foyer.
Afterwards we did some shopping in the nearby mall, ate lunch in The Alchemist bar on the waterfront, and had a look in the Imperial War Museum North - another free museum in a stunning new building.
The tram from Manchester city centre to Salford was quick, easy & comfortable. From the Imperial War Museum tram-stop, the walk to The Lowry took 10 mins over a footbridge with great views across the canal to Media City.

小时候我很喜欢LS·洛瑞的画作,亲眼看到它们,感觉更加有趣、更加美丽——生动与悲伤、色彩与单调、简洁与复杂,奇妙地融合在一起。
这真是伟大的艺术——对曼彻斯特来说非常特别——不容错过。
6分钟的360度沉浸式体验带来了精彩的入门体验。画廊三个展厅的作品种类比我预想的要丰富——不仅有描绘工厂的油画,还有海景、山景、素描和肖像。
说明和其他信息都恰到好处,工作人员热情友好,而且整个参观都是免费的——感谢索尔福德市议会。
洛瑞艺术中心是一座令人印象深刻的现代建筑,坐落在宽阔的运河盆地之上,我们在宽敞的玻璃门厅享用了美味的蛋糕和咖啡。
之后,我们在附近的购物中心购物,在海滨的The Alchemist酒吧吃了午餐,并参观了帝国战争博物馆北馆——这是另一座位于令人惊叹的新建筑中的免费博物馆。
从曼彻斯特市中心到索尔福德的电车快捷、方便且舒适。从帝国战争博物馆电车站出发,步行10分钟即可到达洛瑞艺术中心,途中可欣赏运河对岸媒体城的美景。
