Sheffield Museums Trust, is a charity created in 2021 to run Sheffield City Council’s museums and galleries. It was formed from the merger of Sheffield Galleries & Museums Trust (Museums Sheffield), and Sheffield Industrial Museums Trust.[1] It currently manages six sites in the city: Graves Art Gallery, Millennium Gallery, Weston Park Museum, Kelham Island Museum, Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet, and Shepherd Wheel Workshop, as well as being responsible for the city's historic collections. Its mission is to be 'an ambitious, resilient, and united museums service that represents, celebrates, and inspires Sheffield'.[2] It is run from offices at Leader House on Surrey Street.
