From prehistory to Romans, Vikings and the city’s medieval splendour; see some of the finest collections of archaeological and geological finds in Europe.
Don’t miss our new exhibition Star Carr: after the ice (opens 22 March). Take an epic journey back through 11.000 years of Yorkshire’s history to a time when Britain was joined to Europe. Discover more about the earliest homes in Britain and the families who settled there and help us to name the Star Carr dog. There will be lots to see and do, including a Mesolithic house in the gardens during the summer!
Visit our Jurassic Gallery to explore fossils from Yorkshire’s Jurassic Coast and find out about the lost giants and the changing worlds they inhabited 150 million years ago. Meet ‘Alan’ the dinosaur and get to know more about Dorset’s famous fossil hunter Mary Anning.
The Museum is home to many amazing finds such as the Middleham Jewel, the York Helmet and a Roman mosaic floor you can walk on. There is much to discover about Yorkshire’s past inhabitants!
