Experience Barnsley debuted in 2013, but it has been collecting artefacts, pictures, papers, videos, and tales for several years prior to that. The incredible support and material gifts from individuals who have left Barnsley but yet feel the deep links of common ancestry have made it possible to tell these experiences.
Unique archaeological treasures, object and archival exhibits, videos, and interactives line one half of the main gallery, tracing Barnsley’s known history from prehistoric times to the twenty-first century.
