The River & Rowing Museum, set by the river in picturesque Henley on Thames, brings the river, rowing and the arts to life in a series of stunning galleries and temporary exhibitions. The Museum, housed in stunning oak clad building designed by award winning architect David Chipperfield, is home to the UK's only gallery dedicated to the work of prolific British artist John Piper. Families are welcomed to the Museum, and the permanent Wind in the Willows walk through experience is enormously popular with visitors of all ages! Hosting an ever changing series of temporary exhibitions, there is always something new to see at the Museum and their annual pass tickets provide fantastic value for money.

This was a welcome stopping point, on a journey to Oxford. It is an award-winning purpose-built museum, just by the Thames, devoted to boating and river-related activities. It is a great place to eat. For little kids there is a walk-through section that brings the Wind in the Willows to life. For older 'kids' there are historic boats from past rowing events, an amazingly preserved Saxon dugout, even a skiff the Three Men in a Boat might have used. For art buffs there a special gallery devoted to the paintings of John Piper, who lived nearby. It's worth mentioning we got in free with our Art Fund passes - but otherwise it was reasonably priced; and the shop was a delight. Has its own free car park. We thoroughly enjoyed our couple of hours there.

What a down to earth character Lord Nuffield must have been - the house is in no way grand and, unfortunately, it does look in need of rather a lot of TLC (I'm sure the many flat roofs don't help.) The interiors are comfortable and homely rather than grand and you could almost be walking into your grandparents house. The only nod to grandeur is the Billiards Room which is in a wing on its own and the tool cupboard in his Lordship's bedroom gives a fascinating insight to the restless nature of the man. Really interesting

I have just visited Jack’s Gallery in Henley-on-Thames and purchased the latest Jack Vettriano limited edition print. Excellent service by very knowledgeable staff and clear understanding of Jack Vettriano work. Very reasonable prices and I will definitely return for more in the future.
