Museum's fresh role

A Shrewsbury museum will close its doors for the final time tomorrow before taking on a new role as a visitor centre.

Tomorrow will mark the last day that Rowley's House, in Barker Street, will open as Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery.

From December, the 17th-century building will take on a new identity as a visitor information centre, taking over from the centre currently in The Music Hall.

The top floor of Rowley's House is due to house a Darwin exhibition in February to coincide with Darwin anniversary celebrations.
