Two new items on display at the Brontë Parsonage Museum and a recent exhibition at the Old Schoolroom.
Wed 4 Feb – Thu 31 Dec

Charlotte Brontë's bracelet is currently on display at the Brontë Parsonage Museum alongside other examples of mourning jewellery. The intricate, delicate bracelet features hair from two people, believed to be Charlotte's sisters, Emily and Anne. During the Victorian era, hair jewellery was fashionable and widely worn and it was common practice to make mourning jewellery incorporating the hair of a deceased relative. 
In February 2026, Oscar-nominated actress and producer Margot Robbie wore a replica of this bracelet with a custom Dilara Findikoglu dress inspired by it.

'A Book of Friendship' is now on display in the Museum. This prop from Emerald Fennell's new film "Wuthering Heights" is the scrapbook Isabella (Alison Oliver) makes for Catherine (Margot Robbie) as a Christmas present. 
On loan from LuckyChap Entertainment. Display dates are subject to change.

How can we reframe and illuminate history?
'Gone Like Dreams' is an exhibition of publications by Level 5 BA(Hons) Illustration students from Leeds Arts University. The students have been dreaming and speculating on the Brontës’ experiences, taking inspiration from the Brontë Parsonage Museum and the surrounding moors. Through their research, they have pieced together fragments of the Brontës' lives to create their own archive. 
The Brontës are the most famous literary family of all time. They were complex, challenging individuals, each with their own outlook and experiences. But they were also siblings arguing by the fire, stepping from rock to rock, writing about the world they knew and wishing others into existence.  
We invite you to walk in their footsteps and step into their worlds, even for a moment. 
Location: Brontë Event Space in the Old School Room, Haworth
