We were please to discover this great museum, which was free when we went. A nice museum to visit and stroll around if you are in the city. If you like art and sculpture then you will not want to walk on past this place without popping in.
For us, all museums are a must because they are educational in some shape or form.

The Henry Moore Institute, named after the great man himself who comes from Yorkshire, is a sculpture gallery located on the Headrow in the centre of Leeds right next door to the Leeds City Art gallery. It is an impressive black marble fronted building and like the Art Gallery is absolutely free to enter. It has a great deal of traditional sculptures in bronze, clay and wood, and lots of modern sculptures too in all manner of mediums — the sky seems to be the limit! Set yourself an hour aside to have a look round, it has disabled and buggy access, and a little café too. Absolutely worth a look.

The Henry Moore is a huge square grey marble building right next to the fantastic Light shopping centre. It is very modern but don’t let the cold square exterior put you off. It is very welcoming inside and just like the art gallery right next door it is free. Situated on the headrow, less than 30 seconds from the bus stop and 10 minutes walk from the bus and train stations, this is a very accessible museum of all things sculpture. It does have a great mix of modern and tradtional art in a variety of physical media which is excellent and though no touching is allowed I would still say that this is a good place to bring slightly older and well behaved children with an interest or appreciation for sculpture and design.
I enjoyed my visit there and there is a good hour’s worth of things to see, so coupled with the art gallery and the little shop there’s an afternoon’s entertainment for free — which can’t be bad. Again the staff here are lovely and very willing to help with any queries you might have.
I love this place and I think it’s worth anyone’s free time– as it’s free itself.
