The Grosvenor Museum houses a large and varied collection. Some of our best collections are on permanent display, such as our internationally important collection of Roman tombstones. We also have a range of special exhibitions that often feature other items from our collections. These displays can be found in Gallery 1 on the ground floor, and Gallery 2 on the first floor. For details of our current and upcoming special exhibitions, please see our What’s on page.
