Long-term display at Weston Park Museum about the 1914 Kinder mine disaster, among the museum's continuing exhibits.
Spirit of Kinder is one of the continuing displays at Weston Park Museum, so it's there whenever you fancy a wander through. The museum itself is on Western Bank in Sheffield, and it's currently marking its 150th anniversary, having first opened its doors in September 1875.
It's a broad look at the city and its people, running from prehistory right up to the present day. Along the way you'll find some of the museum's most well-known residents, Spike the Woolly Rhino and Snowy the Polar Bear, alongside a programme of changing exhibitions that rotate through the galleries. There's also the Picturing Sheffield gallery, which brings together Sheffield-themed art by local names like Andy Cropper, Stanley Royle, Joe Scarborough, Joyce Spurr and Godfrey Sykes, and the Ambulo museum café for when you need a break.
