The Brontë Parsonage Museum

Learn more about the Brontës by visiting their former home – the Haworth Parsonage – now the Brontë Parsonage Museum. Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë were the authors of some of the best-loved books in the English language, including of course, Emily's Wuthering Heights.

You can see Brontë manuscripts and letters in the Parsonage, and with many of the rooms once used by the Brontës remaining unchanged, get a real insight into their daily lives. There's also a series of special exhibitions at the museum in 2009 including Wuthering Heights Costumes showcasing costumes from the new YTV adaptation. Please click here for more details.

Genius: The Brontë Story

We have now opened a new permanent exhibition focusing on the Brontës' lives. The main exhibition space, located in an extension to the original Brontë house, will be completely refurbished and redisplayed, allowing more of the Brontë Society's remarkable collection to be exhibited, some of it for the first time ever. The exhibition will also include new, hands-on interactive displays for young children and families, exploring the Brontës' lives and their writing.

Sex, Drugs and Literature – The Infernal World of Branwell Brontë

Monday 1 June 2009 to 31 December 2010

As a child, Branwell was considered the greatest genius of the Brontë family. He was the first of the Brontë siblings to see his poems in print, but whilst his sisters went on to write their great novels, Branwell declined into alcoholism, dying at the age of thirty-one with a string of failed career attempts behind him. This exhibition examines Branwell's creative output and poses the question, ‘what went wrong?’

Wuthering Heights Costumes

Now to 31 December 2010

A new YTV adaption of Emily Brontë's classic love story Wuthering Heights will be screened in Autumn 2009. The Parsonage museum will be exhibiting costumes from this new television production in the historic rooms of the house in which the story was written throughout 2009.
