Description
At the Museum of The Gorge you get the bigger picture: the why, the how, the who and the when? Housed in a Gothic-style warehouse beside the River Severn, it uses film to explain the area's significance, and why, as a World Heritage Site, it ranks alongside the Pyramids and Taj Mahal in its importance in world history. The Museum also contains a giant scale model showing how the Gorge looked in 1796.
