Opened in 1964 as a purpose-built Museum to display important collections of natural history, archaeology, local history, fine and decorative art. There is also a large and varied temporary exhibition programme throughout the year, as well as special activities for all ages. The Regimental Museum for the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry is in the same building, in a new extension opened in 1987. The history of this famous local Regiment is displayed here, and includes one of the most extensive medal collections to be exhibited in any Museum in this country.

The Museum Shops stock a range of gifts including postcards, souvenirs, framed prints, KOYLI material and books. Museum staff offer an Enquiry Service to the public - objects can be brought in for identification but no valuations can be given.

There is full access to the museum for the disabled, and inside there is a lift providing access to the upper galleries. Free car park for visitors with reserved disabled parking.
