Description:
The Museum celebrates three themes - the international sport of rowing; the River Thames and the historic town of Henley.
The Schwarzenbach International Rowing Gallery underwent a major redisplay in 2006 and now tells the story of international rowing in a truly dynamic way. One of the highlights is `In the Coxes Seat´ an interactive exhibit giving visitors a unique, 360 degree experience of racing at Henley Royal Regatta.
The Thames Gallery offers visitors a range of perspectives, looking at the river as an inspiration for the arts, a natural habitat for wildlife and a means of trade.
