Leeds City Museum is celebrating after scooping a top national award for being the country’s most family friendly attraction.
The museum, which recently celebrated its 10th birthday, beat off competition from ten other sites around the UK to land the Kids in Museums Family Friendly Museum Award 2018.
The finalists were assessed by undercover family judges, who visited each shortlisted museum over the summer, with experiences determining the winner.
They said Leeds City Museum stood out for its “warm and welcoming” staff, who were present throughout the museum and went the extra mile to help visitors. They also praised the museum for being representative of the different communities in Leeds in its exhibitions.
