We had a fun day exploring the many museums of York. The Yorkshire Museum was really neat because it showed the evolution of the city starting at prehistoric times, to Roman times, to the medieval period, all the way to present day York. The museum was really interactive making things more interesting. The Castle Museum also did the same thing with different exhibits. This museum was kind of creepy because the building was used as a prison from 1718 until 1900 and then transformed into the museum. Some of the original cells are a part of the museum.

One of the coolest parts was the exhibit on the 1950’s and 60’s. A lot of the things that were represented reminded me of the same things that were going on in the U.S. Some of the highlights were the missions to space, the Beatles, Peace, Love, and the good old Hoover vacuum. I was dying because they had an entire exhibit on the housewife of the 60’s.
