Museums & Art Galleries
The Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds, England was opened in 1996 as the new home for the national collection of arms and armour. It is housed in a new building designed by Buro Happold. The museum is split into five galleries: War, Tournament, Self-Defence, Hunting and the Orient. Outside, an open area was designed as a tiltyard for demonstrations of medieval martial pursuits, including jousting and falconry.
As the largest medieval gothic cathedral in northern Europe, and a treasure house of 800 years of stained glass, York Minster is a focal point for visitors to the city. Climb the 275 steps of the central tower for York's finest viewpoint!
