Please note this exhibition is currently not open.

Abbey House Museum presents Light For Leeds: embracing all we have in common through the unifying theme of Light.

This reflective exhibition explores the shared importance of spiritual and physical light to different groups through objects and film. It has been put together by members of the Light For Leeds Interfaith Week event that is held every November at Kirkstall Abbey and includes contributions from faith and non-faith organisations.

See a brand new installation by artist Maureen Jordan, titled Islanded.

There will be a number of events taking place at Abbey House Museum including talks and workshops presented by members of the Light for Leeds Steering Group and partners. Find out what’s on and plan your visit.
