Hi Annette. The adult admission is £7.95. However if you live within a reasonable distance of York or are a regular visitor you might like to consider a York Museums Trust Card which is £20 by direct debit. This gets you 12 months entry to the Yorkshire Museum, York Art Gallery (which is no longer free to enter) and the Castle Museum. We did this a couple of years ago and have made really good use of it. It's a bargain when you consider that entry to all three sites would cost over £20. Hope this helps.
