Leeds City Museum
Bedste tid at besøge
Weekday mornings are quietest, especially right when doors open at 10am. Schools visit on weekday afternoons, so Saturdays draw a calmer, more diverse crowd if mornings don't work.
Budgettips
Entry is completely free for everyone, no ticket needed. Donations are welcome at the front desk, and special exhibitions sometimes have a small fee.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Tre etager med gallerier rummer alt fra et 10.000 år gammelt elgskelet til en ægte mumie ved navn Nesyamun. Museet ligger i en grandios bygning fra 1800-tallet, der tidligere var et mekanikerinstitut, med en fantastisk centralhal med glasloft.
Højdepunkter: Leeds Tiger, en enorm udstoppet bengalsk tiger, der engang optrådte i et omrejsende cirkus, før den blev doneret til museet, møder dig nær indgangen med et intenst frossent brøl. Rundt om hjørnet viser Life's Journey-galleriet mumien Nesyamun, hvis 3.000 år gamle ansigt blev CT-scannet i 2020, hvilket afslørede, at han led af svære tandbylder og tandkødssygdomme.
Insidertips
- Grab a coffee at the museum cafe on the ground floor, the glass ceiling makes it one of the prettiest spots in the building.
- The Leeds Tiger looks best from slightly below, crouch down to meet his eye level for a dramatic photo.
- Skip the top-floor gallery if you're short on time and focus on the Ancient Worlds and Life's Journey floors instead.
- Weekday afternoons around 1-2pm are busiest with school groups, plan your visit around this.
