Community at Leeds Industrial Museum
Our team run a rolling skills engagement programme, which supports and educates our community in cataloguing and handling our collections. This programme enables us to learn more about our objects and create meaningful connections with our community and behind-the-scenes museum experiences.
Exhibitions
Our community groups also produce award-winning exhibitions, which span a huge number of topics, from artworks made entirely of felt, to civil engineering, to untold stories of the film industry.
Our exhibitions are researched, written and installed by our community partners, with great pride. The community exhibition space changes every year to showcase their work to all our visitors, and allows them time to plan ahead, research and develop future exhibitions.
The Colour Garden
Explore the vivid blossoms of the colour garden, our award-winning, volunteer co-ordinated space filled with flowers used to create traditional dyes.
Our dedicated volunteer group from Hyde Park Source have been volunteering in our garden for over 10 years.
Turn right at the museum entrance and follow the cobbled pathway to discover our old cottage garden, The Colour Garden.
