The service exists to collect, preserve and interpret historic and cultural collections and historic sites and use them as inspiration for educating, entertaining and informing the people of Leeds as well as visitors to the city. We provide unique learning environments through the maintenance of these sites, their collections and through the operation of high quality, welcoming visitor attractions with associated commercial activity including retail operations, conference and hospitality provision including weddings.

Here on Flickr we are showcasing our sites and some of our finest collections, along with various activities that take place at our sites. We hope that they provide you with a flavour of what our sites have to offer.

These photographs are for you, and we would love to hear what you think of them. Did you know that as well as on Flickr, you can speak to us through Twitter and Facebook? Please feel free to get in touch with us through any of our social media sites.

We would also like to encourage you to share your own photography with us, through our Flickr groups. We love to see our museums through your eyes (and cameras!) so feel free to bring your camera to our sites and get snapping. Please do be aware of our photography procedure, see here for details.

Interested in Fashion and inspired by Birds? Have a look at our group 'Flock Together' and submit your own photos inspired by our bird inspired exhibitions from across Leeds in 2010. What did you have for tea last night? Don’t just tell us, show us! Visit our group ‘What’s for Tea Tonight?’
