Leeds Art Gallery & Henry Moore Institute
One of the finest collections of 20th-century British sculpture and painting outside London, connected to the Henry Moore Institute. Both are free.
Leeds Art Gallery has an especially strong collection of 20th-century British art, including sculptures by Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth, and works by Turner, Constable and Stanley Spencer. The Victorian Tiled Hall, with its colourful tiled interior, now houses a café and is well worth a sit-down. The linked Henry Moore Institute stages sculpture-focused exhibitions, and its black granite façade is instantly recognisable. Both are free to enter. They sit on The Headrow, next to the Town Hall and City Museum.
