Overview
The new Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery uses a 'variety show' to inspire you to think about our heritage. Contemporary artists will help. Throughout the galleries there is fine art from the collections which reflect the periods and themes explored. There is an ambitious contemporary art programme leading up to the Museum’s opening. This project has delivered a range of artists' commissions, new museum displays, special exhibitions, events, education and participatory activities.

About the area
Perhaps nowhere else in England will you find a county so deeply rural and with so much variety as Shropshire. Choose a clear day, climb to the top of The Wrekin, and look down on that ‘land of lost content’ so wistfully evoked by A E Housman.
