What to see by foot: Leeds

Leeds has a lot to offer for those interested in art. The City Art Gallery
was founded in 1888 and is located next to Leeds Library and Town Hall in the
city centre. Its collection was designated 'of national importance' and boasts
one of the best collections of 20th century British art, including works by
Turner, Cozens, Cotman and Girtin. The museum also houses the Design Gallery
and Craft Shop, which are worth a visit.
Within walking distance from the City Art Gallery is the Henry Moore Institute.
Formerly a group of neglected Victorian merchant's offices and warehouses, the
institute converted these into an award-winning gallery. The Henry Moore Institute
is part of the Henry Moore Foundations and is devoted exclusively to sculpture,
collections and research.
Armley Mills was once the largest woollen mill in the world and now houses
the Leeds Industrial Museum. Exhibits dating from the 18th and 19th centuries
show the history of textiles, clothing, and engine and locomotive manufacture
in Leeds.
The Leeds Museums Natural Science Collection is famous for its Molluscan collection.,
with over 700,000 specimens from land, freshwater, marine, and fossils from
all over the world. There are also workshops for children to create their own
fossils.
The Thackray Medical Museum showcases medicine through the ages. It is housed
in magnificent Victorian buildings and is one of the largest medical museums
in Europe. The many displays illustrate the importance of medicine and how the
development in medical science has helped public health and healthcare - including
the display of medical equipment.
