Leicester Museums Store Tours - 2026

A behind-the-scenes guided stroll around Leicester Museums' main object store.

This is a guided tour taking visitors behind the scenes into the main object store used by Leicester Museums, away from the usual gallery displays. It's a chance to see how a large museum collection is kept and cared for, with items not normally on public view. The tour runs across a long season at Leicester Museum & Art Gallery, from 17 June to 1 December 2026, giving plenty of opportunity to fit it in. It suits anyone curious about museum collections and how they're looked after, including families interested in local history and heritage.
