About York Castle Museum

A trip to the award-winning York Castle Museum must be on your list of tourist places to visit in York. This is the place that will narrate the ancient history of over 400 years of the city of York through recreated Victorian Street, Kirkgate, recreated Jacobean dining rooms, and others. Stroll through the interactive and immersive galleries and take a look at thousands of historic objects that will bring the bygone eras alive for you.

Take a walk across Kirkgate, the recreated Victorian Street with cobblestone paths and authentic shops with collections from the bygone era. Feel awe-struck as you take a look at some of the pharmacist's unlikely 'cures', traditional sweets, and luxurious costumes in these shops. Walk into the York Castle Prison, and visit its infamous residents to know about them. Take a look at an iron corset, crotchless pantaloons along with bum rolls, and a killer dress of Jane Austen’s era. Visit the popular exhibition Toy Stories to take a trip down memory lane to your childhood days. Go to the Sixties exhibition to know the story of how many areas of public and private life changed during that decade.
