Museum of the Gorge, Industrial heritage museum in Ironbridge, England
The Museum of the Gorge presents exhibitions about local manufacturing history through artifacts, models, and detailed displays of industrial processes and developments.
Established within the Ironbridge Gorge UNESCO World Heritage Site, this museum documents the region's role as the foundation of industrial manufacturing in the 1700s.
