A superb museum and gallery. It's a bit of Tardis - much larger inside than it appears from the street. A great range of artefacts and artworks covering many topics, themes and times - and all nicely displayed, presented and explained. It requires a number of visits to fully appreciate its collections. However, the museum has devised a 'Ten Things to See' which is an excellent way to focus on some fascinating artefacts and to prioritise a short visit. Something for Salopians to be proud of and a must-see place if visiting Shrewsbury. Really enjoyed the visit yesterday (26th November). Very impressed and will recommend to others - along with Shrewsbury in general.

Looks quite small from the outside but is actually pretty large and is spread over a number of floors and rooms. The museum has exhibits of fossils up to to more recent history. Well worth a look for an hour or 2.

After living between Shrewsbury and Cheshire due to work for about 6 years I managed to stop by the museum this week. What a great place! The staff are lovely. I learnt a lot about Roman history in Shrewsbury and found out there's a Roman town just outside of Shrewsbury so I will be visiting that. Thank you :)

Great Roman objects, but entire museum is ruined by intrusive audio visual displays. You can't escape the echoing, harsh sound, of numerous chattering videos ruining the quiet enjoyment of the displays. When I visited, in addition to the garbled audio spewing forth from every section, they also had an investor conference on floor 2. The salesman couldn't speak to a room of 20 people without a microphone, apparently oratory is a dead art, so everyone had to listen to an ethex sales pitch clatter around the room. The special exhibition was truly awful. Huge space. Only the walls used for a few self absorbed slogans. What a waste. Just awful. Oh, and the purple hair brigade also polluted an exhibit.
