Bringing the world to Wakefield and showing Wakefield to the world: our museums encourage you to explore, learn and enjoy through our extensive collections.
Discover what life was like for Stone Age settlers and the Romans or be amazed by Boa Constrictors and fantastical creatures from the Waterton Collection.
These objects tell us about some of the people and places which have made the Wakefield District a fascinating place. Some are beautiful, some are plain, but they all tell a story about life and death, love and passion, hardship and rebellion, work and play.
