In 1923 Wakefield Museum first opened its doors in Holmfield House in Clarence Park.


Its displays of artwork, archaeology, natural history, world history and local stories brought in thousands of visitors a year.


100 years later and now part of a district-wide museum service with sites in Pontefract, Castleford and beyond, the Museum is planning its third move into its biggest site yet.
