Yorkshire Museum

With a rich history and a broad selection of collections and displays, the Yorkshire Museum is a fascinating site to visit. The museum was founded in 1830, and is situated in a Grade I listed building created by architect William Wilkins.

One of the highlights of the museum is its vast collection of artifacts and objects, covering the history and culture of Yorkshire and beyond.

Visitors can see the Middleham Jewel, the Cawood Sword, and the famous Roman mosaic, which is one of the largest in Europe.

If you want to uncover more of York’s Roman past, this is the place to visit. Pottery, jewelry and coins are amidst the artefacts here.

Beautiful gardens surround the museum, so why not embark on a walk through these?

This fascinating attraction is a must-visit spot when staying in York…
