Weston Park Museum

Weston Park Museum tells the story of Sheffield and its people, from pre-history to present day. Originally opened in 1875, Weston Park Museum has found lifelong fans in younger visitors and grown-ups alike for nearly 150 years. You’ll discover everything from archaeological treasures to zoological wonders, meet visitor favourites Spike the Woolly Rhino and Snowy the Polar Bear, and find out more about the people and events that shaped the city we know today. Displays also showcase Sheffield-themed highlights from the city’s art collection, including work by John Hoyland, Pete McKee, Jo Peel, Stanley Royle, Joe Scarborough, Godfrey Sykes and Emilie Taylor, as well as John Singer Sargent’s much-loved The Misses Vickers. The museum is also home to a programme of changing exhibitions and events for all ages.
