More about this scene
In 1890 the John Ruskin Museum relocated from a house at Walkley to Meersbrook House in Meersbrook Park. The Museum housed a collection of fine art, drawings, rare books and geological specimens aimed at awakening an appreciation of art in Sheffield's skilled tradesmen. By 1953 the museum was attracting only a handful of visitors a day and the decision was taken to close it.
