Explore Leeds Discovery Centre, our state-of-the-art museum storehouse, where the team care for 1.2 million objects. From elephant skulls to a medieval log boat, mummy bandages and meteorites, the Discovery Centre offers a unique opportunity for hands-on exploration into the natural world, human history and ingenuity. Explore behind the scenes of the Museum and discover the Leeds collections up close and personal. Researchers are very welcome to enquire about objects, conservation and handling items with their curatorial team.
