Exhibitions
The Museum has three main galleries devoted to the River Thames,
the international sport of
rowing and the town of Henley on
Thames.
The Wind in the Willows is a permanent exhibition that brings the
story to life using 3D models, sets, music and an audio
guide.
A programme of Special exhibitions in the Treasures gallery, Lord
Kirkham gallery and on The Wall ensure there is always something
new to explore, often providing unique or unexpected insights into
one of our main themes.
