AN EXHIBITION about Ancient Egypt is a Barnsley museum’s most successful to date, a council report reveals.
The town’s visitor economy received a major boost with the ‘Gods’ Land in God’s County: Ancient Egypt in Yorkshire’ temporary exhibition at Experience Barnsley.
It featured more than 200 Egyptian artefacts and highlighted the connections between Ancient Egypt and Yorkshire dating back to 1610.
The council’s latest performance report, covering October to December, shows more than 1,300 people visited in the first week and the exhibition was the most successful since the town hall museum opened in 2013.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
