About this Event

We’ll use the current exhibitions to stimulate new thinking for an informal but in-depth conversation.

As part of a group, you’ll explore Sheffield Museum’s collections and consider how they resonate today. This is philosophical enquiry – collaborative thinking, talking and listening to build our understanding. Enjoy exploring ideas with others in a setting steeped in history.

All are welcome, no experience necessary.

"Really interesting to share thoughts and ideas with others like this. The facilitator also did a really good job of running the group and ensuring that everyone got their say. I really had no idea what to expect - but would very happily come to another of these." - previous attendee

This session forms part of the programme of events complementing the exhibition Gathering Landscapes, at Weston Park Museum until 1 November 2026.

Suggested donation £5 – help us send imaginations soaring! A donation from you could supercharge children’s learning, help people unlock their creativity and see visitors embark on journeys of discovery that last a lifetime.
