Free museum to visit in the civic building. It's not huge, but there's plenty to see and facts to absorb. Very well put together and displayed. Local interest and history, archaeology, fashion, miners and coal, historical artefacts, inventions, military regalia and special exhibitions. Interesting calendar of events. Gorgeous old, as in 'propahh' old iron lift. Public loos. Fab little café called the Old George. Beautiful elegant architecture. Set in attractive, colourful gardens. Great facility. Well done, Barnsley.

although small, there were memories of bygone years of the town etc, watching the film footage brought it all back, some interesting items on show.

Lovely visit with my toddler, there’s a lovely little play corner where we spent most our visit playing in the car, reading books and playing pretend with the shop stuff. Thank you for a great visit.
