Bedste tid at besøge
Weekday mornings (10am-12pm) are the quietest, giving you space to explore the galleries without crowds. Afternoons tend to be busier with school groups and families.
Budgettips
Entry is completely free, though special exhibitions and some live events may carry a small charge. Parking at nearby Clarence Dock costs around £5 for the day, or take the free City Bus from Leeds train station to save.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Samlingen indeholder over 75.000 genstande fra 3.000 års historie, hvilket gør den til en af de største våben- og rustningssamlinger i verden. Besøgende kan se alt fra Henrik VIII's store feltrustning til en ægte elefantrustning fremstillet til en mogul-krigselefant.
Højdepunkter: De færreste ved, at man kan røre ved ægte rustninger og våben i gallerierne, herunder prøve en hjelm og løfte et ægte sværd fra 1600-tallet. Hall of Steel, et syv etager højt glasatrium, er foret med 3.000 individuelle rustningsdele og våben arrangeret i imponerende gulv-til-loft udstillinger.
Insidertips
- Head straight to the Hall of Steel on level 3 first, the views through the glass atrium are spectacular before crowds build up.
- The live combat shows run at set times check the schedule on arrival so you don't miss the jousting demonstrations.
- Don't skip the top floor galleries which hold the curious oddities like the 'sword of mercy' and a pistol disguised as a book.
- Photography is allowed without flash everywhere, but the low light in the War Gallery means you'll want a steady hand or tripod.
