Ten museums in a World Heritage Site.
Once described as "the most extraordinary district in the world", the Ironbridge Gorge is still a remarkable, and beautiful, place to visit today.

Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery

Rowley's House Museum re-opened in January 2001 under the new name of Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery (Rowley's House). The museum occupies two adjoining buildings; one of which is timber-framed (originally built as a merchant's warehouse in the 16th or early 17th Century) and the other a stone and brick building of about 1618 (the mansion of the merchant William Rowley). The buildings are among the finest in Shrewsbury
