From Roman artifacts to a huge collection of silver and masterpieces by regional artists, the Grosvenor Museum explores 2,000 years of Chester’s fascinating history. Established in 1885, the Grosvenor Museum takes its name from Hugh Lupus Grosvenor, the 1st Duke of Westminster, who donated some of the land on which the museum stands. Its eight galleries are spread throughout the halls of a magnificent Renaissance-style building. Start your visit by reading information boards that provide a chronological timeline of the evolution of Chester from prehistoric times. Learn about life in the Roman settlement of Deva, which proceeded the city, in the Newstead Roman Gallery. See ceramics, coins, glassware and ironwork. The Stories in Stone gallery stores tombstones of the residents of Deva. See examples of fossils, minerals and wildlife found in and around Cheshire in the natural history gallery. Of particular interest is the taxidermy display of world’s only known dog-fox hybrid. Browse a collection of Chester-made silverware, which is among the city’s finest contributions to British visual arts. Admire watercolors by Louise Rayner and paintings of city scenes by John Varley and Thomas Webster. Separate from the main museum building is the Period House. The rooms of its three floors are set up to portray living conditions from the 17th to 20th centuries. Among them is an Edwardian bathroom, Georgian drawing room and Victorian bedroom. You’ll find the museum located a 20-minute walk from Chester train station and a 10-minute walk from Chester Town Hall. Parking is available for a fee at the rear of the nearby Chester Castle. Other major city attractions within walking distance are the Chester Roman Amphitheatre and Deva Roman Experience interactive museum. The Grosvenor Museum is open daily, except for public holidays. There is no admission fee but a donation is suggested. Note that on Sunday the museum opens in the afternoon only. Guided tours are available for a fee by prior arrangement. Information about current exhibitions is available on the museum’s official website. ## Plan a trip to see Grosvenor Museum Price found within the past 48 hours.
