West Yorkshire Museums join together for Yorkshire Day!
West Yorkshire’s museums are celebrating the greatest date in the Yorkshire calendar, Yorkshire Day, with a series of exclusive events for visitors on Thursday 1 August.
As part of the ‘We Are West Yorkshire’ joint exhibition programme, museums in Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield will host a variety of activities which are linked to their current exhibitions celebrating the county.
The local museum services have each chosen a different route to highlight the rich variety of their own town or city. The shows include a diverse range of stories, objects, and artworks spanning centuries of history in West Yorkshire.
The We Are West Yorkshire project has been made possible through funding and support from Arts Council England.
