Barnsley Museums care and look after a number of historic venues in and around Barnsley encouraging visitors to explore the people and places of the area.

Barnsley Museums have recently been working with VocalEyes on both a recorded audio described guide for the exhibition Light and Soul - Early Impressions of The French Landscape which will be available from 7 August until the end of the exhibition on 7 October 2023 and a described film showing on Saturday 26 August 2023. The film showing includes — historic reconstruction videos of Elsecar Village in 1880 and of Eldon Street in Barnsley Town Centre in the 1960s plus a film on the restoration of Cannon Hall Museum, Park and Gardens and many more.

RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey caught up with Ally Beckett, Formal Learning and Access Officer at Barnsley Museums to find out more about both the exhibition and the film showing with audio description by VocalEyes.
