At Whitby Museum we have a dedicated special exhibition room with a programme of exhibitions designed to complement and enhance our main gallery. Special exhibitions usually run for a full year.
Our Costume Gallery also has annually changing exhibitions highlighting differing areas of our costume and textile collection.
Throughout the year we stage events and talks tying to our collection. Regularly visit this page or our social media channels for the latest updates.
