It’s difficult to pin down the most popular areas as each child tends to have different favourites and highlights, though I’d say that my personal favourite right now is our All About Me gallery, exploring the human body and how amazing we all are. What has been the museum's biggest achievement over the last 25 years? I think the fact that we’ve been able to remain relevant and “on-trend” as children’s interests change is a major achievement.

  • The Early Bryologists of South West Yorkshire
    THE EARLY BRYOLOGISTS OF SOUTH WEST YORKSHIRE by Tom Blockeel [Bulletin of the British Bryological Society, 38, 38-48 (July 1981)] This account brings together information which I have encountered during work on the bryology of South West Yorkshire (v.-c. 63). It lays no claim to originality, but is rather a collation of biographical data from disparate sources, and is presented here in the hope that it may be of interest to readers. I have confined myself largely to those botanists of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries who made significant contributions to the bryology of v.-c. 63. If there are any omissions or other deficiencies, I should be grateful to hear of them, and of any additional information which readers may have to hand. The Parish of Halifax has been a centre of bryological tradition for over two hundred years. It was there that there appeared, in 1775, the first contribution of substance to South Yorkshire bryology, in the form of an anonymous catalogue of plants published as an appendix to the Rev. J. Watson’s History and Antiquities of the Parish of Halifax. Traditionally, the catalogue was attributed to James Bolton (d. 1799) of Stannary, near Halifax, whose life was researched by Charles Crossland at the beginning of this century (Crump & Crossland, 1904; Crossland, 1908, 1910). Bolton was the author of fine illustrated botanical works, notably Filices Britannicae and the History of Fungusses growing about Halifax, the latter being the first British work exclusively devoted to fungi. However, his work extended beyond the purely botanical. Shortly after the completion of the History of Fungusses, which was dedicated to and sponsored by Henry, the sixth earl of Gainsborough, Bolton wrote to his friend John Ingham: ‘You must know, John, that I have been so long tilted between roses and toadstools, and back again from toadstools to roses, that I am wearied out with both for the present, and wish (by way of recreation only) to turn for awhile to some other page in the great volume.

Abstract Around the late third millennium BC small cup-shaped vessels began to appear in burial contexts across the North of England where they were found to be associated with Early Bronze Age funerary practices. Known by the name of incense cups, accessory vessels or miniature cups, their true purpose has been elusive. This study comprises an investigation of cups from Northern England and finds the tradition to be heavily influenced by Beaker culture practices resulting in the earliest cups emulating some attributes of Beaker ceramics. The Northern English Cup assemblage defies the current perception that all Cups are perforated as 63% are not; fabrics are found to be locally sourced and not imported and a review of the typology finds a strong regional adherence to the Food Vessel and Collared Urn tradition. Association in the grave with larger Urns is not as common as once believed and Cups have been found as the solitary ceramic indicating that they were important in their own right.

  • Heritage for All: Ethnic Mi
    ICME papers 2001 Paper presented at the ICME sessions ICOM TRIENNIAL CONFERENCE, BARCELONA, 2-4 July, 2001 Heritage for All: ethnic minority attitudes to museums and heritage sites Barbara Woroncow, Chief Executive, Yorkshire Museums Council, United Kingdom Introduction For well over a decade, museums in the United Kingdom have been aware that their services need to be made more accessible to the growing number of ethnic minority communities across the country. Many individual museum services, especially those in areas with significant ethnic minority populations, have undertaken much good work in building relationships, developing relevant exhibitions and activities, and initiating collecting policies and recording systems to present and preserve the traditions and experiences of ethnic minority communities. Examples of such good practice can be found, for example, in Bradford, Halifax and Rotherham, all of which are in the Yorkshire region in the north-east of England. However, the majority of work undertaken by such museum services has been project-based, often with special funding, and has concentrated on dealing with the heritage of individual ethnic minority communities. Such initiatives have been valuable in encouraging many first-time attenders for whom museum-going may not have been a traditional family activity. It is obvious for example, that a special exhibition on Sikh culture, developed in partnership with the Sikh community, is likely to attract Sikh families, as well as a range of other visitors. In some larger cities such as Birmingham and Liverpool, ethnic minority communities have also participated in developing permanent galleries on broader subjects such as rites of passage and slavery.
