Collections

Staff from the Henry Moore Institute curate a number of rooms set aside for sculpture in Leeds City Art Gallery. In the main sculpture galleries there is a large display, which changes annually, and we also use the collections of Leeds Museums and Galleries for smaller, in-focus displays in the Sculpture Study Galleries; these particular galleries may be reached directly from the Henry Moore Institute via a bridge-link.

The displays help fulfil our obligation to show artworks from the permanent collection publicly, but they can also be used to back up research taking place in the field of sculpture studies. For this reason we welcome enquiries from academics and students wishing to put together displays based on their own ideas.
