About
A History of Sculpture
There is a rich history of sculpture in Leeds. This timeline charts the history of both Leeds Art Gallery, which opened in 1888, the achievements of Henry Moore and the development of the Henry Moore Institute.
The long-established partnership of Leeds City Council and the Henry Moore Foundation began with the development of the Sculpture Study Centre in Leeds Art Gallery in 1982 and the opening of the sculpture galleries, which Moore helped to design, and led to the development of the Henry Moore Institute in 1993.
It now represents an unparalleled collaboration in the collection, study and presentation of sculpture. The Leeds Sculpture Collections lie at the heart of our work together, and are underpinned by the complementary research and curatorial expertise of both organisations.
