The brand new Yorkshire Natural History Museum opened last weekend and was an instant hit, with queues down the street as people waited to see what was on offer.
The Star was lucky enough to be invited down to take a look around with the first of the visitors, and was also offered a quick look behind the scenes at some exhibitions coming soon.
Take a look inside this fantastic new addition to Sheffield’s museum scene.
The museum has shown itself to be a brilliant family day out option, with access to the museum having to operate a one-out, one-in policy as the museum approached capacity. Photo: National World
The museum is filled with artifacts from the personal collection of museum director, James Hogg, who donated his collection to make partaking in the sciences more accessible. Photo: National World
