Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery

We spent a very interesting two hours here yesterday. The exhibits are well-displayed and the combination of the visual, aural and tactile are very well planned and sympathetic to all styles of learning, visitor age and length of attention span. I found that the quality of the the "free of charge" section detailing the prehistoric and Roman periods was of such a high standard that I had no reservation in paying the very reasonable entrance fee for the upper floors. Again, the exhibitions on medieval Shrewsbury, natural history and local industry were very interesting and very well presented. All the members of staff or volunteers that I met during my visit were extremely friendly and helpful. On three occasions during my visit I was approached by members of staff who were very happy to spend time showing us round the exhibits and providing some very interesting information. This was my first visit to the museum and it will not be my last. I would recommend the museum to anyone planning a visit to Shrewsbury.
