Kelham Island Museum
Don't let the term 'industrial heritage' make your eyes glaze over. Sheffield's prodigious industrial history is the subject of this excellent museum, on a man-made island in the River Don. The most impressive display is the 12,000-horsepower steam engine (the size of a house) that is powered up twice a day.

Winter Gardens
Pride of place goes to this wonderfully ambitious public space with glass roof, exotic plants and soaring wood-clad arches. The modern architecture contrasts with the Victorian town hall next door, and is further enhanced by the nearby Peace Gardens -– complete with fountains, sculptures and lawns (and lunching office workers whenever there's a bit of sun).

Millennium Gallery
Sheffield's cultural revival is spearheaded by the Millennium Gallery, a collection of four galleries under one roof. The Ruskin Gallery houses an eclectic collection of paintings, drawings and manuscripts established and inspired by Victorian artist, writer, critic and philosopher John Ruskin, while the Metalwork Gallery charts the transformation of Sheffield's steel industry into craft and design – the ‘Sheffield steel' stamp on locally made cutlery and tableware now has the cachet of designer chic.
