About us
The River & Rowing Museum inspires escape and exploration, telling the many stories of the River Thames and celebrating the wildlife that calls it home. Beyond its beautiful riverside location in Henley on Thames and award-winning building, the Museum’s doors open onto art, history, conservation and the international sport of rowing. The galleries include interactive displays and stories and objects of international significance, including the family-friendly ‘Wind in the Willows’ gallery and a dedicated gallery to the work of Modern British artist John Piper, which opened in 2016 following successful crowd-funding with the support of the Art Fund. In addition, the Museum hosts a lively programme of special exhibitions from partners such as the National Portrait Gallery, the Ashmolean, Seven Stories, the V&A and the Hayward Gallery. Working closely with local partners, the Museum’s Community Gallery showcases a wide variety of local projects. Twice shortlisted for Family Friendly Museum of the Year, the Museum is a registered educational charity, and welcomes children and adults taking part in its engaging and inspiring learning and events programme. The Museum’s Chocolate Café terrace overlooks Mill Meadows, and its shop celebrates local suppliers, specialising in children’s books and games, fashion and craft. As a charity receiving no ongoing public funding, the Museum relies on its visitors and supporters. Please help support the Museum’s future by becoming a Friend or making a donation.

Great to see more people getting involved in river water testing. Well done Marlow Rowing Club and River Action UK #Rivers #RiverThames #Environment
We started our river water testing yesterday with thanks to River Action UK Fresh Water Watch and Dave Wallace for training us. Starting with simple turbidity (murkiness), nitrate and phosphate tests we'll soon also have access to e-coli testing too. Our team will be testing the water twice a week with the results shared along with thousands of other citizen science tests from cross the country... you can see them here... https://lnkd.in/e3eG7Yw6 British Rowing #pollution #water #river

Delighted to share that the iconic portrait of Sir Steve Redgrave by Justin Mortimer is back at the River & Rowing Museum, courtesy of the Edington Charitable Trust🎨
Sir Steve is back at the River & Rowing Museum! This portrait by Justin Mortimer was completed in 1998, shortly after Sir Steve and Sir Matt won Team GB’s only gold of the Atlanta Olympics from any sport. It had previously been on display at the museum and now, thanks to its loan by the Edington Charitable Trust is now back in pride of place for all of our visitors to enjoy! Incidentally, the coxless pair that Steve and Matt raced in Atlanta is also on display in our cafe. #rowing #museum #river #henley #gold #olympics
