A listed UNESCO World Heritage site, Museum of The Gorge is one of the 10 award winning Ironbridge Gorge Museums.
Housed in a gothic-style warehouse beside the River Severn, the Museum of the Gorge uses archive film and interactive technology to explain the area's historical significance.
What to see
Explore a selection of reproductions of historic maps of Shropshire from the Patricia Bracegirdle Collection, which show the development of the county, its transport systems and its towns during the Industrial Revolution.
Art Happens project
In summer 2015 the museum underwent a £25,000 refurbishment, which was made possible thanks to a campaign on the Art Fund's crowdfunding platform, Art Happens. The project saw the collection redisplayed in new cases, an upgrade to the lighting, new interpretation panels and enhanced equipment installed in the auditorium.
