About Experience Barnsley

Experience Barnsley is a Museum and Discovery Centre dedicated to the people and history of Barnsley. The Museum and Discovery Centre are located in the Town Hall, which dates from 1933 and is a great place to explore, especially the impressive council chamber, and beautiful clock tower.

Discover a town full of amazing stories with a rich and diverse heritage through the huge range of artefacts that include a Littleworth Majorette's outfit from the 1980s, Roman coins discovered in Wombwell, and even leather jackets worn by the rock band Saxon!

For a chance to work with historical evidence and heritage in all its forms, try the innovative ‘Making History' gallery, which has a number of interesting interactive exhibits to enjoy. Explore the archaeological dig with hidden treasures including linen bobbins, Roman treasures, medieval hordes, and a ‘My Little Pony'! Work together to build a replica model of the Penistone Viaduct, and kids can dress up in exact replica Roman armour.
