Quite a mixture of stuff... roman stuff.. which ive never seen before which was something... many stuffed animals, interesting but kinda scary... and even some stuff from more modern times, old cameras up to relatively old games consoles and mobiles! was a lot bigger than you would first think. plenty to see , will have to come back

There's plenty to see in this free museum from Roman artefacts, a natural history room, an art gallery, a room full of silver cups etc and the most popular of all is a room showing how technology in our lives has advanced over the years. Best to visit as soon as it opens as it can get a bit busy there. I'd recommend coming here.

The Grosvenor Museum is located in the centre of Chester. It is around a mile on foot from the station. Alternatively bus 1 takes you from the station to close to the museum. I liked the variety of exhibits in this museum. There was an interesting selection of old slot machines, cameras, telephones through the ages and other such memorabilia. I enjoyed the art on display, particularly the Aerial View of Chester by John McGahey and Tom Wood’s portrait of the King from 1989 when he was Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester. There is a room full of silver artefacts plus numerous fossils and natural history exhibits. However, the most interesting exhibits are from Roman times when the city was called Deva. The Roman tombstones on show were fascinating and a great insight to life at the time. Admission is free.

To be perfectly honest we only called into the museum because of the bad weather. I’m almost glad it rained. What a really interesting place to visit. Lots to see and plenty for children to explore. Well worth a visit.

Easy five stars-Countless interesting sections, amazing, well-done Roman bit (considering this was my first time and I was excited for that part), good shop and two ways in (and stairlifts) for disabled people. Recommend this place for people from a different country going here or even people in the UK on holiday! Something that even if you waste time on, it's for something

First visit to this amazing little gem of a museum in the heart of Chester. Four maybe five floors of history. Starting with the story of mobile Phones, A real trip down memory lane. I also loved the dolls and the trip through fashion history. Amazing place and it’s free or donations.

We went as it was raining outside, it's free entry with a lift for wheelchair or pram access. Pram can be stored in the lecture theatre. Plenty of interactive activities for toddlers to enjoy whilst still interesting for adults to read and learn.

First time visitors and we weren't disappointed. A fantastic collection housed in an impressive building. I loved the Roman history. Toilet facilities and gift shop. Lovely staff and free entry.

It’s housed in a grand Victorian building which has perhaps seen better days. It’s a strange mush-mash of natural history and art.. The current exhibitions are from the same century as the building itself: watercolours of Chester by Louise Rayner (1832-1924) and etchings by George Cuitt described as Chester’s greatest Regency artist of ruins from his native North Yorkshire but also of scenes from Chester. The permanent collection in a single room itself has everything from works from Renaissance Italy to a portrait of a young Prince of Wales reminding us of his title as Earl of Chester. Otherwise a collection of stuffed birds, a seal and cases of geological rock specimens. Other areas including a downstairs cafe were swarming with local schoolchildren dressed as ancient Romans.

The museum has a very interesting collection of Roman artefacts discovered in the city of Chester. Much of the rest of the museum has many rooms recreating domestic scenes in houses over the last three centuries. The day I went the also has a temporary exhibition of engravings. Worth a visit especially if you have an interest in Roman history.
