Nice museum with a dark room art exhibit.
Visited a few times. I hadn't realised that there is a connecting bridge from the Leeds Art Gallery itself. First time I've used that, as I've always gone in via their own street door before. Shop and couple of rooms.
I don't know, I guess I'm not a connoisseur or lover of modern art, but if you like it, then maybe you should visit this place, although there are only 3 rooms
Henry Moore Institute tends to be a professional art gallery, specialized in Sculpture art, which is more than a general gallery. For some people, the name "Henry Moore" may mislead them it is a museum to exhibit Henry Moore's work, but it is not. Rather, it is established by Henry Moore for the further development of sculpture art. Thus, it is a place for understanding and research of sculpture. On the first floor, it is normal exhibition for public. Worth a look, but feeling "don't understand", even reading explanation from the nearby notecards, is within expectation. Art needs your interpretation. What is special here is the research library and archives of Sculpture, on the second floor. It serves for the research purposes.
Having a museum with the name " Henry Moore" in it, with nothing by him, is a huge disappointment. Kinda misrepresentation. We went to the Max Ernst Museum recently, and it was excellent. Plenty of his stuff. Was Henry quite lazy? Look how many Picasso museums there are! OK, so this is HM "Institute", I now understand, but it's still disappointing. Especially as the art they do have is really terrible. Old paint trays scattered about. Insulting. The museum next door has a Moore out front and a nice Hepworth inside, although it's irritating in its own way.

A world-leading centre for the study and exhibition of sculpture, dedicated to advancing the art form through research and public engagement.
