Working with communities

Our Community Engagement team work with local community groups across all of our nine sites, exploring their connections with the city, past and present.

Our outreach service enables people who cannot easily visit our sites to experience museum objects through handling sessions.

If you would like to know more about the Leeds Museums and Galleries community programme, or explore ways in which your community can be represented at our sites, please contact us:

Donate to the collection

Leeds Museums and Galleries are committed to collecting objects and stories that reflect contemporary Leeds people and our city and region’s diverse communities.

We are always looking to gather more people-focused material to add to our growing digital and object collections.
