About

The Grosvenor Museum in Chester offers a captivating journey through time, housed in an impressive Victorian structure designed by Thomas Meakin Lockwood in 1885. This historical gem is particularly noted for its remarkable collection of Roman artifacts, providing a deep dive into Chester's past. Visitors can wander through domestic scenes from the past three centuries and explore a rotating exhibition of exquisite engravings. With its thoughtful layout, the museum caters to families and those with reduced mobility, offering lift access to various sections. An informative video enhances the experience, and pleasant staff are on hand to enrich your visit. The museum's entry is free, though donations are encouraged, making it an accessible learning opportunity for school groups. After immersing in history, relax at the museum's café or browse the gift shop. Convenient nearby parking and the chance to combine museum entry with an exploration of the city walls make this an ideal cultural outing.
