Blists Hill Victorian Town, one of the ten Ironbridge Gorge Museums has beaten off stiff competition and secured a place on a short list of just 4 museums in the country's largest and most prestigious art competition.
The Art Fund Prize recognises and celebrates excellence and innovation in museums across the country who have delivered a major project in the last 12 months.
Blists Hill's £12 million redevelopment, with the introduction of the new Visitor Centre, a new parade of shops along Canal Street and a new Mine Train Experience has already attracted huge support.
If you think that Blists Hill Victorian Town should be voted the country's top museum, please log onto www.artfundprize.org.uk vote for Blists Hill and if possible leave a comment as to why it should win.
