It Takes a Community

2 October – 20 June

Leeds City Museum

Celebrate 20 years of community partnership across Leeds Museums and Galleries with a vibrant new exhibition bringing together the many groups, collaborators and creatives who’ve shaped our museums over the past two decades. Co‑curated with community partners from across the city, it’s a joyful showcase of creativity, identity and shared storytelling.

Explore powerful themes of identity, belonging, wellbeing and representation through artwork, personal objects, quotes and films created by students and community contributors. Each piece offers a window into what community means today and how creativity helps us feel seen, supported and included.

Together, these voices and objects celebrate what’s possible when museums and communities work side by side.
