York Castle Museum
York, United Kingdom
York Castle Museum explores the lives of ordinary people through objects, rooms and streets recreated from the past. Kirkgate, its Victorian street, is the standout: shopfronts and fittings include original pieces, with businesses based on those that once operated in York. Look beyond the main shopping street to the poorer dwellings behind it for a fuller picture of the period. Allow time to browse, and check the current exhibitions and visitor information when booking.
