ABOUT IRONBRIDGE GORGE MUSEUM
Founded in 1967, the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust is a
registered charity (503717-R) with twin aims of education
and heritage conservation and is one of the largest
independent museums in the UK. The Trust cares for 35
scheduled monuments and listed buildings within the
Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site and operates ten
award-winning museums, which collectively tell the story of
the Ironbridge Gorge’s universal significance for its unique
role in the development of the Industrial Revolution. Pre
Covid-19 the Museum welcomed c480,000 visitors, including
62,000 school children on organised school trips. Following
a difficult couple of years the Trust is working hard to build
back its audience numbers through an extensive programme
of events and activities. As well as ten museums, the sites
in the Trust’s care include a research library, a tourist
information centre, two youth hostels, archaeological
monuments, historic woodlands, housing, two chapels, and
two Quaker burial grounds. All of its Collections are covered
under Arts Council England’s Designation Scheme; which
‘identifies and celebrates outstanding collections, which
deepen our understanding of the world and what it means to
be human.’
