Weston Park Museum tells the stories of Sheffield from prehistory to the present day across multiple galleries. You can see archaeological treasures in Beneath Your Feet, explore Ancient Egypt, and visit What On Earth to learn about the city's changing wildlife and environment. Meet visitor favourites Spike the Woolly Rhino and Snowy the Polar Bear. The Picturing Sheffield gallery shows Sheffield-themed highlights from the city's art collection, including work by Andy Cropper, Stanley Royle, Joe Scarborough, Joyce Spurr and Godfrey Sykes. Sheffield Stories and Sheffield Life & Times galleries reveal the people and events that shaped the city, while the Royle Gallery hosts a programme of temporary exhibitions. There's a café, Ambulo, on site.
