Leeds City Museum


The Leeds City Museum is really good. There's loads of interactive things to do, even if you'll probably lose any credibility you had when you're spotted building a roman temple at the age of 20....

My favourite part has to be the section on the back to back houses that us students still inhabit today in Hyde Park. One of the interviewed residents talked about how bay windows were a clear sign of wealth as they allowed you not only to look straight into the window opposite but also down the street as well.

The museum has sections on: The Ancient World, The Leeds Story, The Collector's Cabinet, World View: Out of Africa and Life on Earth.
