Local artists were invited to submit their work earlier in the year, as part of celebrations to mark the 50th anniversary of the museums, and prizes were given to the best ones.
Below you can see the winner of the under-12 category, My Grandma, by Holly Ngo, and the winner of the 18+ age-group, Across the Gorge, by Jan Bell.

The name competition has been scrapped.

The planned closure of the AGA foundry in Coalbrookdale has been described as "very sad news" by the Telford and Wrekin councillor for the area.
Nicola Lowery said the announcement came as a shock, but that she was keen to see the buildings remain in industrial use.
The site has been making cast iron since Abraham Darby set up his Coalbrookdale Company there in 1707 and has been through a number of hands since.
A pub beer garden in Bomere Heath could have five houses built on it.
A planning application to carry out the work at the The Red Lion has been submitted to Shropshire Council and councillors will make a decision on it when they meet this afternoon.
