Visit Leicester Museum & Art Gallery
Go from dinosaurs and ancient Egypt to paintings and objects connected with Leicester’s own history. Leicester Museum & Art Gallery gives a family enough contrast to keep changing the question from “what is it?” to “how did it get here?” The museum brings natural history, archaeology and art into one city-centre visit. Its ongoing redevelopment also makes it worth checking which areas are available rather than assuming every familiar gallery will be open. General admission is free. Check the museum’s current visitor information and affected gallery areas before setting off. Add this to your list and choose one collection to explore properly instead of trying to rush through them all.
