O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Osnovan od strane samog kipara Henryja Moorea 1977. godine, ovaj institut posjeduje jednu od najvećih kolekcija kiparskih arhiva u Britaniji sa preko 35.000 predmeta koji obuhvataju dva stoljeća. Njegova upadljiva moderna zgrada na The Headrowu kontrastira s viktorijanskom arhitekturom oko nje, privlačeći 60.000 posjetilaca godišnje da vide stalne postavke i rotirajuće savremene izložbe.
Istaknuto: Skriveno blago instituta je arhivski centar koji možete rezervisati za istraživanje, gdje možete rukovati originalnim skicirkama i gipsanim maketama iz Mooreove ruke. Većina posjetilaca ne shvata da je sirovi betonski enterijer zgrade namjerno dizajniran da podsjeća na teksturu kiparskog studija, upotpunjen prirodnim svjetlom koje prodire kroz dramatičan stakleni krov.
Insajderski savjeti

- Pop upstairs to the mezzanine gallery first for a bird's-eye view of the main space before diving into the ground floor exhibits.
- Combine your visit with the nearby Leeds Art Gallery across the street for a full morning of sculpture and modern art.
