Om
Snabba fakta: Sheffields äldsta offentliga museum ligger i en herrgård byggd för stadens första borgmästare. Dess samlingar spänner över naturhistoria, arkeologi och dekorativ konst, inklusive ett 12 000 år gammalt älgskelett som hittats i en lokal torvmosse.
Höjdpunkter: Museets märkligaste skatt? En mumifierad egyptisk katt som en gång användes som dörrstopp av en familj i Sheffield som inte hade någon aning om vad det var. Titta också efter Sheffield Marvel, en 1500-talsristning av en bevingad best som lokalbefolkningen en gång trodde vaktade begravd skatt i Weston Park.
Insidertips
- 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.
