Our projects

Public Houses: What makes civic custodianship of historic house museums in Britain different and where next?

Starting in 2025, Tales of Temple Newsam will collect people's living memories of Temple Newsam through oral histories. There are lots of stories to tell – from first love and weddings to truancy and (potential) break-ins!

The new Dead Plants Society project will see Leeds Museums and Galleries teaming up with arts and social change charity Space2 to search through the 250,000-strong collection.

Discover how the Learning and Access team began the Decolonising the Curriculum Project at Leeds Museums and Galleries to plan curriculum learning resources connected to our collections.

#DYC On the pitch, off the pitch – collecting sport in Leeds is a National Lottery Heritage Fund project recognising the important place of sport in the culture of Leeds. It will increase representation of sports in Leeds Museums and Galleries and across the City and create connections between collections and the city’s public spaces.
