The Collection of Collections

Parts of the Old Town Hall are either preserved, conserved, refurbished, remodelled or extended to create an extensive facility for the display and preservation of Sheffield’s city and amateur collections. The existing building itself becomes an artefact in the city’s collection of listed buildings and continues, in part, to be displayed as a ruin. In other parts it is remodelled as a contemporary gallery for display. A new extension is built to replace the 1950s block to accommodate archive and education facilities.
