Treasures
© Museums Sheffield.The Treasures gallery has recently undergone a major redisplay and now showcases some of the remarkable highlights of the Sheffield's World Cultures collection.
The new Treasures gallery displays trace the fascinating history of objects that have travelled many thousands of miles to the region and explores their links with the city and its people.
The redisplay of the gallery marks the culmination of Precious Cargo, a three year project working with young people from across Sheffield to celebrate the city’s World Cultures collection in the run up to London 2012. Precious Cargo is part of London 2012 Cultural Olympiad programme Stories of the World which is led by the Arts Council England (ACE) in partnership with the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG).
