After nearly 10 years in the area finally decided to pay it a visit! So. Nice looking place, reasonable size for a small city. The first room on the right was most interesting, to me anyway. It has old books etc encased in glass with low lighting for preservation with som translations. The books are good as its nice to... More

I recently visited the Grosvenor Museum looking for a certain painting by a man named Souch, which I was reviewing in an essay for my degree course, the staff at the museum were very helpful and gave me the direct telephone number of their art expert. I duly telephoned this man and found him extremely the opposite to all the... More

Unfortunately the little museum is very popular with schools, so plan your room visits around the kids. Lovely paintings and sculptures. There's also an extensive collection of silver.
