Introduction
Open Minds explores the experience of mental health and mental illness in Leeds.
It has been curated by the Preservative Party, Leeds City Museum’s volunteers aged 14-25, alongside members of the community. It is our voices you hear throughout the display. We believe mental health is a really important topic to talk about because it effects each and every one of us daily.
We want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has shared their story, and the organisations that helped us in the production of this exhibition. A special thanks to the Mental Health Museum in Wakefield for their support, advice and loaned items.
Please be aware that this display includes themes which may be upsetting. If you are affected by anything in this exhibition, please talk to someone.
