Doncaster Museum and Fine art Gallery is a museum in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England.[one]
History [edit]
The offset Doncaster Museum opened in 1909 at Beechfield House, utilising just the ground floor of the building, and operated a pocket-sized zoo at the site from 1955.[two] It moved to a purpose-built site on Chequer Route in 1964 to display collections of natural history, archaeology, local history, fine and decorative art.[iii] The holotype of the extinct species Ichthyosaurus anningae was identified in the museum's collection in 2008 and formally named in 2015.[4] [5] The building as well houses the Regimental Museum of the Rex's Ain Yorkshire Light Infantry.[vi] The Roman Danum shield, found in Doncaster in 1971 is on display in the museum.[7]
The museum won the "Well-nigh Improved Audition Figures" award from Audiences Yorkshire in 2009.[8]
Redevelopment [edit]
The one-time museum site closed on 17 January 2020, with the motion to a new venue, originally intended to open in summertime 2020.[9] The COVID-19 pandemic caused delays to the relocation procedure. The new building, which cost £xiv meg, was completed in October 2020.[10] The new museum is called 'The Danum Gallery, Library and Museum' and encloses the Doncaster High School for Girls building.[eleven] The new museum opened to the public on 29 May 2021.[12]
A new track heritage centre opened on 19 September 2021[13] within the venue exhibits the Corking Northern Railway C1 class locomotive No. 251 and the London and North Eastern Railway Class V2 4771 locomotive Green Arrow to gloat the contribution Doncaster made to the rail manufacture. Both locomotives were built in Doncaster and are on loan from the National Railway Museum for three years from February 2021.[fourteen] [15] [16]
