Our Museums

Barnsley Museums are proud to look after the borough's unique collections of objects, artworks, and archives. We love to share these treasures and their many, inspiring stories at our museums and galleries and online.

We're turning September into Barnsley Heritage Month!

Giving you lots of ideas of places to go and events to get involved with across the borough

From caring for our beautiful parks and engaging visitors, to archival research and finding out Barnsley’s history in our discovery centre. We have a range of volunteer opportunities that can suit you and your commitments.

We want to make the summer holidays as purse-friendly as possible. All of our five attractions are totally free to enter and the majority of our summer activities are free too. Come along and take part in crafts, dance workshops, storytelling trails and more.
