Leeds Art Gallery & Henry Moore Institute

World-class art in the heart of the city

Located just off The Headrow, Leeds Art Gallery and the neighbouring Henry Moore Institute form the cultural heart of the city centre. Together, they offer an inspiring mix of historic and contemporary art, with free admission to both venues.

Inside Leeds Art Gallery, you’ll find a nationally important collection of 19th and 20th-century British painting and sculpture, alongside modern installations and rotating exhibitions. Highlights include works by Turner, Constable, and contemporary artists like Paula Rego and Antony Gormley. Don’t miss the stunning Victorian Tiled Hall Café – a hidden gem for coffee and cake in a breathtaking setting.

Next door, the Henry Moore Institute focuses on sculpture, with exhibitions exploring the past, present and future of the medium. It’s a must for art enthusiasts and anyone curious about the creative process.

Whether you’re an art lover or just after a quiet moment in a beautiful space, this cultural duo is well worth a visit.
