O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Sheffield's oldest public museum sits within a mansion built for the city's first Mayor. Its collections span natural history, archaeology, and decorative arts, including a 12,000-year-old elk skeleton found in a local peat bog.
Istaknuto: The museum's most bizarre treasure? A mummified Egyptian cat that was once used as a doorstop by a Sheffield family who had no idea what it was. Also look for the Sheffield Marvel, a 16th-century carving of a winged beast that locals once believed guarded buried treasure in Weston Park.
Insajderski savjeti
- Head to the balcony on the first floor for a perfect view of the grand entrance hall's painted ceiling.
- The Arctic Gallery stays cool year-round, perfect for a quiet break on warm days.
- Ask at the welcome desk about handling sessions where you can touch real archaeological objects with white gloves.
- The cafe often has vegan and gluten-free options that rotate daily, cheaper than nearby chain spots.
