Leicester Museum & Art Gallery

Highlights of this grand Victorian museum include the dinosaur galleries (a reliable favorite with kids), the painting collection (with works by Turner and Degas), ceramics by Picasso, and the Egyptian gallery, where real mummies rub shoulders with displays on Boris Karloff's 1932 film The Mummy. Reserve a timeslot in advance.

Kids' activities packs are available on the website for preprinting prior to your visit.
