Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery
Located in Shrewsbury's old Music Hall, this museum chronicles the history of the area from prehistoric times to the present day. One gallery tells the story of Roman occupation, with fascinating finds such as a unique silver mirror from nearby Wroxeter. Another gallery focuses on the town's boom years of the 19th century, including a display on the life of Shrewsbury’s most famous son, Charles Darwin. (Make sure you look out for his statue outside the library, near the castle.) The fine art collection contains mostly painting and prints of the region.
