Behind The Scenes Store Tour
Join us on Wednesdays and Thursdays for one of the best ways to access and see our amazing collections is to enjoy our Behind The Scenes Store Tours. From toucans and telephones, to meteorites and masks, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
We’re a unique museum storage facility which preserves and protects Leeds Museums and Galleries collections of over 1.3 million objects. We offer a rare opportunity for hands-on exploration into the natural world, human history and ingenuity.
Come and explore behind the scenes of our museum and discover the Leeds collections up close and personal.
Advance booking required. This is a Give What You Can event.
