Situated on the route of York’s famous walls, Micklegate Bar Museum has stood sentinel to the city for over 800 years. As York’s most important gateway, the bar has served a number of important roles since its construction in the 12th, including being the main point of entry through which a reigning monarch enters the city. Visit the ancient gateway to explore the pageantry and barbaric history that has unfolded between these walls through the centuries.
