Great little museum. I'd highly recommend people just drop in for half an hour or an hour. I particularly enjoyed the industrial history section of Leeds, the charming ceramics and other collections downstairs, and the funky memorabilia on the city's music scene from the '70s and '80s. I was also pleased to see a dedicated section on David Oluwali's story.
Overall a pretty big museum with free entry, with £5 donations as advisory to help support it. There are several floors, each with something interesting to offer, you can spend about an hour covering them all. I had to give 4 stars because a few of the interactive displays, including the BSL one, appear to be non functional or outright broken which is a shame, but I assume that's what the donation go towards
Lovely museum, the woman at the entrance was really friendly and we had a little chat. The museum is free but i gave a £10 donation as there is a ton of interesting stuff including a real life 3000 year old mummy, i recommend .
This is a fascinating and family-friendly attraction located in the city centre and a wide range of exhibitions. The museum showcases natural history, ancient civilisations, world cultures, and local heritage, with engaging displays that appeal to both adults and children. The galleries are well laid out and interactive, making it easy to explore at your own pace. With regularly changing exhibitions and educational activities, Leeds City Museum provides an enjoyable and informative experience, making it well worth a visit for anyone spending time in Leeds.
Fantastic show sand very festive. Makes you feel happy going to shows like this. The quartet of guys we’re fabulous in Leeds tonight. Would definitely recommend if you want to get into the Christmas spirit.
