 Gigantic, spectacular film experience |
Pictureville Pictureville Leeds BD1 1NQ United Kingdom +44 1274 20 2030 |
Want to conquer Everest, take a thrilling trip into the future or see dinosaurs come back to life? These are the kinds of exhilarating experiences that IMAX offers and all in the comfort of the National Media Museum. The only IMAX in Britain outside London, it's a unique cinema with a massive five-storey screen that has to be seen to be believed. IMAX shows documentary-style films rather than general releases but these are spectacular in both 2D and the latest 3D technology. An experience not to be missed. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Top sculpture spot |
Wentworth Terrace Leeds WF1 3QW United Kingdom +44 1924 30 5796 |
Aside from the City Art Gallery and the Henry Moore Institute, this renowned gallery is one of the best places in the region to see contemporary sculpture. The fine collection of work by Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth alone, makes this gallery well worth a look. Look out for Moore's Reclining Figure - one of the most celebrated works of 20th-century art. Other highlights include works by Ben Nicholson, Anthony Caro and David Hockney. Changing temporary exhibitions offer a great opportunity to see the work of lesser-known regional artists. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Innovative displays |
Beaumont Drive West Bretton Leeds WF4 4LG United Kingdom +44 1924 83 0579 http://www.ysp.co.uk |
There are few art galleries that can boast a more unusual and attractive backdrop than the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Set in over 500 acres of picturesque countryside, this 18th-century parkland showcases work by British and international artists, including Henry Moore. The outdoor setting is perfect, allowing visitors the chance to appreciate the works at their leisure - something which is not always possible within the confines of a city-centre gallery. The charity-funded institution also organises regular temporary exhibitions in partnership with artists from across Europe. A great day out. Note that the gallery closes at 5p in winter. Admission is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |
