Welcome

Welcome to the website of the Friends of the Leeds City Museums.  The City of Leeds has a vast and proud heritage and the inventiveness of its citizens, and the quality of their manufactured products are known and revered throughout the world.

The Museums of Leeds are the guardians of this heritage, and it is their prime purpose to protect and preserve as much of this history and culture as is possible. The Friends of the Leeds City Museums is an independent voluntary organisation of charitable status set up to aid our museums.

Regular organised trips are run for the benefit of members. Surplus funds go towards the conservation, acquisition and display of museum artifacts.

To become a member please click on the Join Us link at the top of the page or pick up a leaflet on your next visit to any of the Leeds museums.
