A Woman's Work is Never Done

Our new exhibition at Tolson Museum is now open!

Part of the 'We Are West Yorkshire' joint project. 

Our photographic exhibition explores the working lives of women from across West Yorkshire during the 19th and early 20th centuries through 11 themed displays dotted throughout the museum.
