Join us at Village for the launch of Melanie & The Miners' Strike, a Leeds throwback in a photo book of nights out in the mid 80s.
Melanie & The Miners' Strike is edited by Victoria P Gill using images from of Bali Hai, Tiffany’s and the Warehouse from 1984, taken by her mum Melanie in the '80s.
Come and reminisce or explore this snapshot of 1980s Leeds, meet Melanie, Victoria and friends.
Discover the rich collection of British land art in Leeds Sculpture Collections. With work by Tacita Dean (b.1965), Hamish Fulton (b. 1946), Anya Gallaccio (b.1963), Andy Goldsworthy (b.1956), John Hilliard (b.1945) and David Nash (b.1945) this display reappraises land art and considers how it continues to shape our understanding of landscape.
For centuries, sculpture has been a site of encounter between history, myth and materials. Fragment and Form continues this by bringing together three contemporary artists Emii Alrai (b. 1993), Mónica Mays (b. 1990), Dominique White (b. 1993) in an exhibition that explores heritage, displacement and the ways in which personal and collective histories are preserved, marginalised and contested through materiality.
Come to our latest exhibition and see the work of celebrated artist, Deborah Harrison.
Come and meet our latest Guest Artist at our usual First Thursday event, when we will be toasting Deborah Harrison over a glass of wine. Meet Deborah and learn first-hand about her practice and inspiration.

An exhibition of textile works by Jan Doherty and photographs by Ellis Roome. Our exhibition explores living in two places; Jan between County Durham and Leeds; Ellis between Leeds and Liverpool. Each of our homes has its own rhythm and holds part of us within, familiarity, comfort, different perspectives and inspiration.
What did the Romans use to wipe? Where was the biggest poo fossil ever found? And what can we learn from old poo to stay healthy today?
This summer, we’re celebrating the science of going to the loo with Poo, Glorious Poo. There’ll be games outside the museum, as well as science shows, soap making workshops and backpack trails.
From diet and digestion to disease and dung beetles, explore what happens after you eat and why your toilet habits matter more than you think.
Watch this space for more stinky and scientific summer treats.

Welcome to the number one exhibition on number twos.
This summer, we’re lifting the lid on bums, tums and stinky science to answer your most potty-mouthed questions about poo!
Through recreated smells (oh yes!), touch and discovery, POO! will flush out the science behind one of the body’s most remarkable (and messy) functions.
Why does poo smell? What colour should it be? How much poo is there in the world? This fun and fascinating family exhibition gets to the bottom of digestion, responding to questions from children at Harehills Primary School.
