Experience Barnsley Museum celebrates 10th birthday
Experience Barnsley, based in Barnsley Town Hall, marks its first decade today - June 27, 2023 - with a huge party for the community featuring a massive birthday card, cake, giant replica cardboard cut-out of the Town Hall and a very special auction.
Everyone is invited to join the birthday party 2pm to 3pm where visitors will be able to enjoy a slice of cake, sign a massive birthday card (online or in person), and share their memories of Barnsley as they celebrate the last ten years of the museum.
As part of the celebrations, the museum is planning to auction off King Tut – one that many residents and visitors to Barnsley may recognise as the sarcophagus that stood in the telephone box across from the Town Hall. It will have a reserve of £300 but people can bid by phone prior to the day.
A number of schools are invited for the day as Experience Barnsley encourages as many people as possible to join the party.
The museum opened in Barnsley Town Hall on June 27, 2013, with the aim of being a place where locals could explore their heritage and visitors could discover more about the borough. Acting as the people’s museum, it is curated by the people, for the people and about the people.
