The York Castle Museum never fails to disappoint. First visited 45 years ago. Fantastic. 😀

HOW CUTE? 😍 These are court shoes made of embroidered yellow leather, with a pointed toe & Italian heels, 1795. They were also made straight! Although technology existed to make differently shaped left & right shoes, they didn't become popular in England until the C19th.

As part of Dementia Awareness Week, our Visitor Experience Team have been attending Dementia Friends training to learn more about dementia so we can better support our visitors. You can learn more about the training programme here: dementiafriends.org.uk/WEBArticle?pag…

📢IMPORTANT NOTICE: We have received confirmation that the north side of York Castle Museum has RAAC in the roofing & must remain closed until we have undertaken the necessary specialist inspections. We will update our website & social media channels once we know more.

📢UPDATE Surveys of the Female Prison identified that mitigating work is needed to ensure all roof supports reflect the most current structural guidance. This side of the museum will therefore remain closed while the work is undertaken. Full statement: yorkcastlemuseum.org.uk/news-media/lat…
