There are three major museums in York in the UK that you would probably enjoy visiting: the Castle Museum, Yorkshire Museum of history and National Railway Museum. Three of Great Britain's main museums in one historic town.
The Castle Museum is one of the greatest attractions of York, easy to walk to on the south edge of the old town.
The Castle Museum contains a remarkable assortment of items with a special focus on the late 19th century, at the dawn of the modern age, when technology went through rapid changes.
Next we visit the Yorkshire Museum which takes you from prehistoric times up through the 16th century with a large collection of Roman and Viking artifacts especially. The museum was founded in 1830, making it one of the oldest in the country. The museum displays a number of Roman objects which have been discovered in York.
Another one of the top attractions in York is England’s largest railway museum, located adjacent to the train station,
The museum is a five-minute walk from the railway station either via a staircase from the station platforms or on the road just to the south. The National Railway Museum tells the story of rail transport in Britain and its impact on society. It is one of the world’s largest railway museums, perhaps the best, and it covers 20 acres, attracting nearly one million annual visitors, featuring 103 locomotives and nearly 300 other rail cars.
It should be no surprise that interest in railroads is advanced here because this region has a long history of pioneering train travel. The first station opened in 1839, just ten years after the British invented the steam locomotive. Rapid expansion of train services required a larger station, which opened in 1877 as the largest train station in Europe, and the original steel and glass structure still functions today. Trains still provide a great way to get to York.
