[1] Its full title is The Grosvenor Museum of Natural History and Archaeology, with Schools of Science and Art, for Chester, Cheshire and North Wales.

Its contents include archaeological items from the Roman period, paintings, musical instruments, and a room arranged as a Victorian parlour.

Grosvenor Museum was founded in 1885, largely due to the inspiration and work of the Chester Society for Natural Science, Literature and Art.

In 1873 it joined forces with the Chester Archaeological Society and the Schools of Science and Art to raise money to build the museum.

The foundation stone was laid on 3 February 1885 by the Duke, and the museum was officially opened by him on 9 August 1886.

Webster saved 20 Castle Street from demolition and created in it the first period room, the Victorian Parlour, which opened in 1955.

The Education Service is housed on the top floor of the museum and gives opportunities for children to learn about the history of the city.
