Here’s a glimpse of some of the Yorkshire Museum’s galleries before and after our building work began…
Work is well underway on transforming the museum in time for our re-opening on 1 August, 2010, when we’ll have five fantastic new galleries.
For those familiar with the building, the difference is already striking. Not only have all the cases and displays gone, but internal walls have been torn down and covers taken off hidden windows, letting in daylight and giving the place a feeling of being much more spacious.
-
- The Abbey Gallery before closure when it had a Natural History exhibition on display
-
- A shot taken from the other side of the Abbey arches once demolition work of internal walls had begun
-
- The old Medieval Gallery on the ground floor, showing the Middleham Jewel case in the far left-hand corner
-
- The same view. Cases and displays have been removed, and windows are starting to be revealed…
-
- The long Roman Gallery as it was before work began…
-
- Here it is again once the displays started coming down…
