Micklegate Bar Museum and its three floors of history set above the Royal Gateway into Historic York. Many of its visitors in the past were not so careful and quite literally lost their head's over Micklegate Bar for acts of treason against the King. Richard Duke of York (pictured above) in 1460, made a guest appearance above Micklegate Bar as a warning to others of the penalty for coming second.
There has been a gateway here for well over a thousand years now, with the stone archway replacing an earlier wooden structure in the early 1100's. Micklegate Bar stands close to the site of where a Roman Gateway would of led into Eboracum, the Roman City.
Micklegate Museum has over 800 years of local macabre past. All visitors are welcome to browse the shop, or pay into the Museum and explore all three floors.

Many of its visitors in the past were not so careful and quite literally lost their head's over Micklegate Bar for acts of treason against the King.
