The Salisbury Museum (previously The Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum) is a museum in Salisbury, Wiltshire, England. It houses one of the best collections relating to Stonehenge and local archaeology.[1]
The museum is housed in The King's House, a Grade I listed building,[2] where King James I of England was entertained in 1610 and 1613. Set in the surroundings of the Cathedral Close, the museum faces the west front of Salisbury Cathedral. Previously at 40-42 St Ann Street,[3][4] where it had been founded in 1860[5] by Dr Richard Fowler, FRS, it transferred to its current site in 1981.[6]
The original three-storey building, with mullioned and transomed windows, ornate plaster ceilings and a fine oak-balustraded staircase, houses the main temporary exhibition gallery with the ceramics gallery above. The arms of James I's eldest son, Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales, can be seen in a window in the Wedgwood gallery upstairs.
The director of the museum is Adrian Green. He is supported by chief operatng officer Lucy Bridal.
