Hello, my name is Adam. I live in Bayston Hill. I like it there. I like pears.

The Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery at Rowley's House is a museum in Shrewsbury, and is part of the Shropshire Museums Group. The collections were founded in 1835 as the museum of the Shropshire and North Wales Natural History and Antiquarian Society.

The current collections hold about 170,000 items including Geology, Biology, Archaeology, Social History, Ceramics, Costume and Fine Art. The Fine Art Collection contains some 2,000 items of which 123 are oil paintings. They range in date from the early seventeenth century to the twenty-first century.

The museum is housed in two adjoining buildings, one of which is timber-framed and the other stone and brick. These buildings were a merchant's warehouse and a mansion owned by William Rowley respectively.

The museum will be moving to Shrewsbury Music Hall in late 2013.
