Story · Yorkshire Museum

You're standing at the Yorkshire Museum, right in the middle of York's Museum Gardens. Have a look at the front of the building. Architect William Wilkins designed it in the Greek Revival style, so it looks a bit like a temple from ancient Greece. That's exactly the idea. It's a Grade I listed building, the top level of protection in England.
