Activity Detail Page

The three buildings are Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery (Rowley's House), Shrewsbury Castle and Coleham Pumping Station. Clive House (a museum from 1969-2001) was sold in July 2001 and the collections transferred to Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery. Clive House is now a private dwelling.

Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery works in partnership with The Shropshire Regimental Museum Trust at Shrewsbury Castle and with Shrewsbury Steam Trust at Coleham Pumping Station.

The museum undertook a period of intensive work on the collections, pending the planned redevelopment of the Music Hall as a major museum and visitor centre. This work will continue in 2008.  A bid was submitted to the Heritage Lottery Fund in June and it is hoped that the new venue will open 2011. 

Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery remains the headquarters of Shrewsbury Museums Service and will be open to the public in 2008.

In addition, the ground-floor, temporary exhibition area only will be open February 2nd - March 1st, during the Shrewsbury Darwin Festival, for the exhibitions Greenhouse Britain and Greenhouse Shropshire.  Tuesday - Saturday, 10am - 4pm.
