Celebrating 150 Years of Weston Park Museum

2025 marks the 150^th anniversary of Weston Park Museum. Since the museum first opened in 1875, it’s continued to welcome people in their millions, from the tiniest tots to lifelong fans.  It’s people that bring the museum to life – our amazing visitors, school groups from across the region and beyond, the communities we collaborate with, and of course, everyone whose stories are shared across the exhibitions and displays.      

Weston Park is a museum with Sheffield at its heart, one where the city’s stories are its greatest treasure. It’s a place where each of us can discover where we’ve come from and imagine what our futures might be. A place where we can find ourselves, and our connection to each other. It’s a place where memories are made. That’s only possible thanks to you – visitors and volunteers, artists, makers and experts, donors, funders and Friends, and all of you who have generously shared your objects, experiences, knowledge, passion and time with us. Sheffield’s museums are here because of you.

We’d love you to join us to celebrate 150 spectacular years of making memories together. You can find more about all the activities, exhibitions and events we’ve got lined up over next few months below, including a big birthday party and a new family trail – and there’s even more on the way!
