BOMB HAPPY: A PLAY ABOUT ORDINARY MEN IN EXTRAORDINARY TIMES
DDAY 75 - we are privileged to be hosting Bomb Happy at the museum in June.
VIEW OUR FAVOURITE OBJECTS
We're making some short videos of our volunteers' favourite objects - so you'll be able to see more of our collections even if you can't pop in to the museum.
OUR RESEARCH AND ENQUIRY SERVICE IS NOW OPEN
We are please to announce our research and enquiry service has now re-opened after our Christmas closure, and our Collections Manager has written a handy guide for those of you wanting to find out about soldiers who served with our regiments.
THE CASE OF THE STEEL-PLATED SOLDIER
If we mention the name Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the chances are you will remember him as the creator of Sherlock Holmes. But did you know that Conan Doyle campaigned to persuade the British Government to develop and improve helmets, body armour and shields for soldiers fighting in the trenches during WW1?
POETRY COMPETITION WINNERS ANNOUNCED
We are pleased to announce the winning poems in the York Remembers poetry competition for children and young people.
CHARLIE WARD
Working with the award-winning Sound&Fury, we've turned the museum into a WW1 hospital and we invite you to enter the shell-shocked world of Harry, a WW1 soldier. [Admission is by ticket only, bookable from reception 01904 461010.]
