About

Description

Built on the remains of St Mary’s Abbey in the heart of York, the Yorkshire Museum is home to some of Britain’s greatest treasures.

Walk on a genuine Roman mosaic floor, marvel at Viking and Medieval treasures and learn the stories of those who made York the city it is today.

Travel back to prehistoric times with a meteorite that’s four and a half billion years old, a giant ichthyosaur and mysterious finds from Star Carr, Britain’s most important Mesolithic site.

Get the most out of York - see the Yorkshire Museum first.
