Bronze Age Rock Art, Yorkshire Museum, 6.8.18.
Located outside the Yorkshire Museum is this displaced piece of Bronze Age Rock Art. Donated to the museum so long ago that no one can remember where it comes from, it now sits outside the museum in the York Gardens. Can someone start a campaign to get it relocated inside the building to preserve it for posterity? Most people don’t even spot it as they enter the museum; this is a sorely unloved piece of prehistoric art.
Come on Yorkshire Museum, surely this is better than a stone bench or shoe scraper?

Very grateful to my fellow geologists who today who let me loose with my new concept of Hydrocarbon Gemmology at the Jurassic Coast Symposium. So relieved that it was well received! #whitbyjetresearch #whitbyjet #gemmology #hydrocarbongemmology #yorkshiremuseum @eborjetworks #jurassiccoast #geology

Tanny took me to the museum yesterday knowing that my favourite thing to do is wander in museums and art galleries. Unfortunately though at the moment being able to go to these places is for us and probably many others beyond budget. The York Museum Trust have however gotten together The Yorkshire Museum, York Castle Museum and The York Art Gallery to provide a ticket for both residents and visitors that means you can go to these places as many times as you like for between £11-£15 a year. Also if you happen to be on benefits this card is free. Yes you read that right it’s free!!! For us being able to go out somewhere on my good days is a huge thing. Even then I normally can’t get around a whole place and it takes at least 4 - 5 trips to see something all the way round. This for us is perfect. To make it fair though we always try to pick up a little something when we go. This time was this awesome fossilised shark tooth!!! #thebloopixie #ymtcard #yorkshiremuseum #yorkartgallery #yorkcastlemuseum #tannyandblooadventures https://www.instagram.com/p/ByhxK7Yn68K/?igshid=15bpowvtgpg9j

Yorkshire Museum
They didn’t have a floating wooden dinosaur jigsaw in the Gift shop. Heart broken, 2/10. -TommyC
A cool museum with exbitions about Yorkshire’s Jurassic past, Roman York and Medieval York. The collections contain all manner of artefacts including a well preserved Roman mosaic, artefacts from York minster and a headdress from the Mesolithic site of Star Carr. Star Carr is regarded as the most important Mesolithic site in Britain. My only complaint would be that the exhibition from Star Carr wasn’t larger -RoxyB.
Cost: Free with the York pass or £7.50 for an adult, children go free with a paying adult.
Opening Hours: 10am-5pm
Side note: Be sure to explore the museum gardens, St. Mary’s Abbey ruins and St. Leonard’s hospital ruin while you’re here. Check out out posts on these places for more information…
