Housed within the historic Monk Bar, one of the four main medieval gateways to York, the Richard III Experience delves into the tumultuous two-year reign of the last Plantagenet king. The exhibits trace Richard’s rise to power, including the enigmatic disappearance of his two preteen nephews, and his involvement in the Wars of the Roses. Visitors can explore the well-preserved stone walls and narrow passageways of the bar, immersing themselves in the rich history and political intrigue of 15th-century England.
