Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery is part of Shrewsbury & Atcham Borough Council and is responsible for three museum buildings in the town plus the 'virtual museum' Darwin Country.
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.
