O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Osnovan od strane samog vajara Henrija Mura 1977. godine, ovaj institut sadrži jednu od najvećih britanskih kolekcija vajarskih arhiva sa preko 35.000 predmeta koji obuhvataju dva veka. Njegova upadljiva moderna zgrada na Hedrou kontrastira sa viktorijanskom arhitekturom oko nje, privlačeći 60.000 posetilaca godišnje da vide i stalne postavke i rotirajuće savremene izložbe.
Istaknuto: Skriveno blago instituta je arhivski centar koji možete rezervisati za istraživanje, gde možete rukovati originalnim skicirkama i gipsanim maketama iz Murave ruke. Većina posetilaca ne shvata da je sirovi betonski enterijer zgrade namerno dizajniran da podseća na teksturu vajarskog studija, sa prirodnim svetlom koje prodire kroz dramatičan stakleni krov.
Insajderski saveti
- Book a free slot in the research library to see original Moore sketchbooks and letters up close.
- The gift shop stocks exclusive Moore-inspired prints and small sculptures you won't find elsewhere in the UK.
- 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.
