Uncover the rich wildlife on the banks of the Thames in the River Gallery. Get close to objects that reveal clues about its history from pre-historic times to today.

The Rowing Gallery presents the story of rowing from the enormous triremes of the Ancient Greeks to our modern Olympians and daring trans-Atlantic expeditions. Be inspired (and dwarfed) by boats of all histories set in one award-winning space.

Discover the UK’s only dedicated gallery to the work of celebrated Modern British artist – and Henley local – John Piper. Experience first-hand his artistic versatility; from painting and drawing to stained glass and ceramics.
