Gordon Bridge Gallery: Picturing Sheffield

01 Jan 2024 - 31 Dec 2025

Discover a new perspective on Sheffield in Weston Park Museum's art gallery, packed with local scenes and views of the city from the past 250 years.

The Picturing Sheffield displays in the museum's Gordon Bridge Gallery are a real celebration of the city, featuring over 60 works presented in the immersive style of a traditional Victorian gallery. The new displays reflect the changing face of Sheffield, from its industrial origins and lost landmarks right through to the familiar views we recognise today.

See work by Godfrey Sykes, Stanley Royle, John Hoyland, Pete McKee, Emilie Taylor, Jo Peel and many more, as well as visitor favourites including John Singer Sargent’s much-loved The Misses Vickers.

You’ll find out more about the works on show through a series of films and audio interactives, as well as have the chance to draw your own images of the city to add to the new displays.

An 18th-century painting of a large red-brick Georgian house with white trim and two chimneys, set in a formal walled garden with symmetrical paths and topiary. Smaller buildings stand nearby, surrounded by trees and rolling hills under a partly cloudy blue sky. A white gate leads into the garden, and birds are visible flying in the distance.

A 19th-century painting of a rural quarry scene with four workers breaking and stacking stone slabs. One man uses a wheelbarrow, while others handle tools and rocks. The quarry is cut into a grassy hillside with scattered trees and a stream running along the left. The sky above is bright blue with large, billowing clouds, creating a contrast with the earthy tones of the exposed rock.
