- Leeds Museums and Galleries appointed experience design company The Creative Core alongside architects from Bauman Lyons to work with the museum on developing the museum theming, access and visitor flow in line with the long term vision.
- A new development plan based on visitor research, public feedback, the views of customers, and the expertise of staff has been drafted. The main vision for the site is to create a more sustainable, more playful people’s history museum for Leeds. The museum would also be more accessible, have broader appeal, and attract more repeat visits.
