York Castle Museum

Objects

York Castle Museum cares for more than 300,000 objects and we are grateful to the public for their help in developing our collections.

We are currently not accepting donations due to a review of our collecting policy, except for objects from the First World War period which could be part of our forthcoming exhibition, 1914: When the World Changed Forever.

Our collecting policy prioritises the type of objects we collect, according to where there are gaps in our collection and whether we have adequate storage facilities.

Once the policy has been reviewed we will be accepting donations again.

If you have an object you wish to donate, please keep it for consideration at a later date or consider offering it to another museum:
