It's Thank You Friday again! Today we're celebrating all the people who have donated to our new museum kickstarter fund.

We've been touched not only by people's generosity, but by the thoughtful ways donors are using our dog plaque scheme to remember the people (and dogs!) who matter to them.

Did you manage to attend our talk with Dr Simon Elliott last week? If not, you missed out!

We were fascinated to learn about Septimius Severus, the subject of Simon's latest book, who ruled over the Roman Empire between 193 and 211 CE, dying nearby in York.

The Regency Era refers to the period 1811-1820, but Regency fashion extended beyond this, overlapping the late Georgian and early Victorian periods, 1795-1837.

Georgian fashion was an elaborate display of elegance and wealth, featuring wide hooped skirts, fitted bodices and intricate details.

Today is World Architecture Day! 🏛️

Malton Museum is currently situated in the Subscription Rooms, where it first opened in 1935. The Subscription Rooms, however, have been around much longer, having been commissioned by the Fitzwilliam family and built during the Regency Era in 1814.
