Weston Park Museum
Sheffield's main museum — history, archaeology and natural history — set in a Victorian park near the university.
Weston Park Museum tells the story of Sheffield and its region: Bronze Age finds from the moors, Roman objects, the rise of the steel industry, and a natural history gallery that is a long-standing favourite with families.
The museum sits in Weston Park itself, a short walk from the University of Sheffield, so it pairs well with a wander up Glossop Road. Entry is free.
