River and Rowing Museum

The River & Rowing Museum was designed by David Chipperfield Architects to a brief which set out to establish an astonishing museum. The building is raised on columns above water meadows beside the River Thames and is built of exposed concrete and glass with a terne coated steel roof, clad in green oak.

The museum has three main galleries devoted to the River Thames, the international sport of rowing and the town of Henley. There are also three special exhibition galleries, the Riverside Café, shop, education centre, library and function rooms.
