The Lowry
Set in the greater Manchester area, The Lowry is a visual and cultural icon, with a reputation extending far past the boundaries of Britain. The astonishing architecture was designed by Michael Wilford and its creation was part of a project to regenerate the Salford Quays and docklands area. Today this waterside theatre and gallery complex presents a riveting range of local, national and international events in a vast spectrum of genres ranging from ballet to contemporary art, as well as promoting the work of early 20th century painter L. S. Lowry.
