Lots to look at and study in the display cabinets particularly the model of old Richmond Palace. A good outline of the history of Richmond.Also excellent videos of the buildings for anyone interested in architecture. Good , to then try spotting the different buildings and their style of construction while exploring the town and its surroundings. All the displays are well presented and objects chosen with care. A number of the local characters who lived through either of the two World Wars are also made vivid by the recollections of those who knew them. Staff helpful and keen.

Shirley Sherwood Gallery of Botanical Art

Reviewed By Noraatc - Sudbury, United States

Temporary exhibit of Chihuly's glass sculptures at the Gallery is phenomenal! All of them are so unique and different one from another; the variety of colors, intricate shapes and forms are beyond any reasonable imagination. I also loved the Gallery shop, where you can actually acquire a small Chihuly's glass sculpture, if you are ready to spare $$$$... but his works are worth every penny of their price tag.
