Mental Health Museum - Past, Present & Future
Fieldhead Hospital, Ouchthorpe Lane, Wakefield, West Yorkshire, WF1 3SP
It’s our 50th anniversary and the Mental Health Museum continues to be a place for discussion. While we’ll always be interested in the past we’re also thinking about the future. We’re on a mission to grow our collection so it remains relevant for people today and tomorrow.
Help us build a people’s history of mental health by sharing your objects, memories and thoughts with us. Whether you work in mental health services, you’re on your own mental health journey or have supported someone through theirs, your experiences are important and can help broaden our understanding of mental health.
Join us on Saturday 7 September 10:30am-3:00pm. We’ll have guided tours of our exhibition at 11:00am and 1:30pm, and visitors can get their hands on history with some unique and intriguing handling objects.
Everyone is welcome. Call us on 01924 316360 or email [email protected] to come see us on Saturday 7th September and help shape the future collection of the Mental Health Museum.
