Sheffield Museums is the independent charity that operates six of the city’s leading museums and heritage sites: Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet, Graves Gallery, Kelham Island Museum, Millennium Gallery, Shepherd Wheel Workshop and Weston Park Museum.

Established in 2021, the charity cares for the city’s collections of art, archaeology, social and industrial history, and natural science, alongside the Guild of St George’s John Ruskin collection and is home to the Ken Hawley Collection Trust’s Hawley Tool Collection.

We work with our communities to tell remarkable stories of Sheffield and its people, and celebrate its reputation for excellence in craft, making and innovation. Together with local, regional and national partners, we showcase home-grown creative talent and bring outstanding cultural experiences to the city.

Adults in front of an oil painting, The Missus Vickers by John Singer Sargeant. The painting is of three women in formal Victorian dress. They are sitting informally next to each other - two women are sharing a chair and looking at a book, and the third woman is sitting on a chair behind them. The painting has a dark background, with the outline of a dresser on which sits a silver jug and a porcelain bowl.
