Step Into the Story of Leeds at Leeds City Museum
Step Into the Story of Leeds at Leeds City Museum
Leeds City Museum, located in Millennium Square, is the city’s main museum and a window into both local heritage and global history. Housed in a grand 19th-century building, it explores everything from ancient Egypt to natural history, from Leeds’ own story to the wonders of the wider world.
On our visit, you’ll encounter Nesyamun, the ancient Egyptian mummy who has been in Leeds since the 1820s, discover extinct animals like the dodo, and explore the Leeds Tiger in the Life on Earth gallery. The museum also celebrates the history of Leeds itself, tracing the people, industries, and cultures that shaped the city we live in today.
