"Volunteers are really helpful and very knowledgeable. Lots to look at for all ages.
"We spent a couple of hours there but could easily have spent the whole morning."
Pete James' review reads: "Really interesting exhibits – Shrewsbury has a fascinating history and the museum lays it all out in a really accessible and interesting way.
"The volunteers are really helpful and informative. One gentleman really brought it alive for my daughter telling her stories about women standing up for their rights – excellent."
Elaine Harris added: "We visited today after a two year gap and were amazed at how beautifully the exhibits were presented and framed.
"This museum offers variety and clarity. The exhibits are grouped chronologically to enable a journey through the Roman period, Medieval, Tudor etc.
"There is something for all tastes: paintings, china, costume, geology to name but a few.
"The staff are low-key but eager to assist and the whole experience is enhanced by a wide range of excellent publications, many of which are free of charge. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit."
