Barnsley Museums Digital Curator Michael Hardy introduces the digital resources that accompany our Barnsley World War Two exhibition, which was held at Experience Barnsley in 2020. This was one of our first explorations into online exhibitions.
We’ve always planned using new methods to give our exhibitions longevity online. Covid 19 has sped these plans up a little. For those who missed our #BarnsleyWW2 exhibition we have tried to bring you as many aspects of it into your living room as possible!
