Popped in here on a Sunday afternoon. Entrance is free. They currently have an exhibition on 'Pharaoh - King of Egypt' featuring 130 or so objects from The British Museum. Held in the Arena, a beautiful circular room which really suits the exhibition. This is free. I particularly enjoyed the 'Life on Earth' exhibition which I think is a permanent... More

Definitely worth a look if you're a local resident. Some fantastic exhibitions, such as the Egyptian one. It's not exactly the national history museum and it's not worth a trip to Leeds for, but if you're passing by it's lovely. More

Spent well over an hour looking through this museum which really had lots of things of interest. The Leeds story was particularly so and for us, the 70s exhibition was an absolute winner - it was like stepping back in time- they've captured it brilliantly. Something for al here. More

The local authority in Leeds provides excellent leisure facilities and this is another example. I fear the current fashion for austerity may lead to a loss of these amenities so hurry to enjoy while you can. There is much to see on three floors in an imposing building to one side of the stunning Millenium Square. The presentation of life... More

The museum is small but a very interesting display of egyptology and roman history. Also a display of the 70's fashion and of life in the 70's. More
