Millennium Gallery is an arts and crafts museum in Sheffield that features permanent and temporary exhibitions, the former mostly devoted to the city's long and distinguished history on decorative and industrial silverware production. The temporary exhibit during my latest visit (February 2023) was a somewhat broadly defined collection of national and international paintings on the relationship between artists and the sea. Interesting enough, certainly in combination with the permanent collection and the adjacent Winter Gardens. Entry is free, photography is allowed. Just a five-minute walk from Sheffield Station, it's definitely worth a visit when you're in town.

Every few years I go here to see my favourites and new exhibits. You can see from my photos that I love the enormous Scissors and the Turtle Tureen. All in pristine glass cases with a detailed history of each piece. There's a gift shop outside for all things Sheffield including all the Hendersons Relishes - all the same product with different labels - Original orange, Blue & White stripes for The Owls and Red & White stripes for The Blades. There's also the coffee shop downstairs with escalator access and a view of Arundal Gate. Keep your eyes peeled walking around for locally made thought provoking exhibits.

I'm not "arty" by any stretch of the imagination but I really enjoy coming here. Galleries celebrating Sheffield's steel heritage and the history of the Steel City and also guest exhibits (the latest one I saw was the Chatsworth exhibit). Interactive information points and activities (for both kids & adults) to get involved in. A great little shop sells some really nice Sheffield/Yorkshire souvenirs and when you've had enough of all that then there is plenty to see and do outside the gallery as it's located nicely right in the middle of the city centre.

Civilised feeling even if crammed. Taster for design excellence. Touring exhibits. Weird indoor tree place next door in up to date Victorian ethos of exemplar specimen garden. Wedding venue! Go round it and feel luxurious but don't photobomb the happy couple that would be RUDE. Snack here,giftware too twee for my modern taste. Still a five for best use of site between established buildings on a slope. Good rail hotel bus links forget the car. Spend an hour or two bring a packed lunch or wander to city centre three mins away.

As a wedding photographer based in North Wales, the majority of my work is based around the countryside. When I was invited to shoot a wedding at The Millennium Gallery in Sheffield I was so excited. The ceremony was held in the gallery and it was an absolute gem for a wedding! Flooded with natural light it created the perfect conditions. The central location made it easy to explore the city right after the ceremony for some epic, cityscape shots with the couple. I’m now desperate for my next Sheffield wedding!

Went to visit the Ruskin , William Morris Bahaus exhibition. As a non gallery goer I love the Millenium Galleries as it's accessible and not too intimidating. However, the distinct lack of Bahuas was a disappointment, and one could have perhaps viewed more W Morris patterns down B and Q. The use of Ruskin's quotes was inspired. 'It is far more difficult to simple than fo be complicated' perhaps the exhibition was trying too hard to cover too many bases.
