Every month a member of the museums staff shares a favourite object.
Our museum venues across Leicester will take you on a journey through Visual Arts, Archaeology, Social History, Natural Sciences, Costume and Technology.
Nationally important objects and collections you can see in Leicester include Charnia, the first fossil ever described to have come from Precambrian rock, our internationally renowned collection of German Expressionist Art and the most comprehensive collection of Picasso ceramics in the country; donated to the museum service by the Attenborough family.
The collections are a feast for the imagination, learning and study. Enjoy them through visits to our museum venues, via our digital resources and at our special events and activities.
