Have we ever mentioned Charles Waterton? Incase you didn't know he is thought to have created the world's 1st nature reserve at his home in Walton! #NationalWildlifeDay @Wild_Yorkshire
We had a lovely day with @Fitz_Pri_School visiting us at #Wakefield Museum today. From Anglo Saxon villagers to the life and adventures of Charles Waterton all in one day!
In a few weeks our museum in #Pontefract will reopen after gallery & display redevelopments. Here is how the museum looked a few years ago and after the first stage changes. Visit us later in May to see the new exhibition space for yourself #differenceMW
'Evening – Going out to Sea' by Arthur Douglas Peppercorn. Just one of the beautiful works from #ADayintheLife at Wakefield Museum.
We love these painting of Westgate #Wakefield on display in our #DayInTheLife exhibition. The views are still recognisable today albeit with much more traffic! #cityMW
'Westgate End' by Keith Blackburn, 1979. An all too familiar wet and windy walk home at the end of a hard day’s work. #ADayintheLife
'Portrait of Irvin Humphries' by Albert Wainwright, 1929. Is anyone else struggling to concentrate this afternoon?! #ADayintheLife
