With the glorious Yorkshire Dales, North York Moors, and the Wolds right on its doorstep and its convenient location halfway between London and Edinburgh, York is one of the most unique cities in England. In York, you can expect to find thirty museums waiting to be explored, the best racecourse in the country to spend the day betting at, and an important and historic cultural scene.
Travel back through time and discover the city's rich history at York Castle Museum. The interactive and immersive exhibitions hold thousands of historic artifacts that bring the past to life and are a great way to spend a day out for all the family.
From L.S. Lowry and Turner to Hockney, the York Museum is a place to surround yourself with some of the best art in the world. The gallery has three exhibition spaces on the ground floor, displaying the best of national and international exhibitions, and four on the first floor, including two galleries which are home to the Centre of Ceramic Art, which showcases our internationally significant collection of British Studio Ceramics. Behind the gallery, walk down into the Artists Garden and the Edible Wood before exploring the rest of the beautiful York Museum Gardens.
