York Minster is the only cathedral in the country to have an accredited museum, following the development of its Revealing York Minster in the Undercroft attraction in 2013.
The new state-of-the-art attraction is housed in interactive chambers beneath the Minster and allows visitors to explore 2000 years of history at the cathedral’s site, from its Roman past to its present day custodians.
Visitors can see the remains of Roman barracks from the city of Eboracum through newly installed glass floors, discover York Minster’s Viking connections through the Horn of Ulf, and see artefacts never before on public display, for example the 1,000 year old York Gospels.
