Doncaster Museum, Local authority museum and art gallery in Doncaster, England
The Danum Gallery, Library and Museum combines multiple cultural spaces across three floors with collections of natural history, archaeology, and local artifacts.
The museum's journey began in 1909 at Beechfield House before relocating to Chequer Road in 1964, and finally settling in its current Waterdale location in 2021.
The museum exhibits feature the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry collections, regional artworks, and the Roman Danum shield discovered in Doncaster in 1971.
