Ludlow Museum at the Buttercross has maintained its National Museum Accreditation.
Ludlow Town Council has managed the museum since 2016 and has consistently met the high standards needed for Arts Council accreditation.
The main collection is provided by Shropshire Council Museum Service. The museum receives its support through a mentoring scheme.
The council also receives support from the Friends of Ludlow Museum group.
According to the Arts Council, accreditation is a nationally recognised standard to ensure museums are sustainable, focused, and trusted.
The museum tells the story of Ludlow and utilises its central location with views along Broad Street.
The museum is located within the town’s historic Buttercross building, which was built between 1743 and 1746.
There are also activity trails and a creative corner for children.
Each year, the museum hosts small exhibitions exploring local people and connections.
The current exhibition is titled 'Elizabeth Charmer - Survival, Love, Heartbreak' and delves into the life of a 19th-century Ludlow woman who defied societal norms.
It will be displayed until April 2025.
Ludlow Museum is open from 10 am to 4 pm on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and bank holidays.
Entry for adults is £1.20, whereas children under 16 can visit for free.
