Grosvenor Museum
The Grosvenor Museumwas built
in 1886 to house the collections
of the Chester Archaeological
Society and the Chester Society
of Natural Science, Literature and
Art. The Museumwas designed
by the Chester Architect Thomas
Meakin Lockwood and it is named
af6er Hugh Lupus Grosvenor
because he donated a portion
of the site in Grosvenor Street
and part of the building costs.
The Museum houses collections
exploring the history of Chester,
its art and silver heritage, and
its natural history. You can find
displays on Roman life and times
in Chester, particularly the military
occupation. The Period House
at the end of the Museum has
separate rooms from the 17
th
century to the 1920s.
The Museum also has a year
round programme of special
exhibitions and events.
