Across the road from Kirkstall Abbey, the abbey’s old gatehouse holds Leeds’ most loved period museum. Abbey House Museum is built around full-size Victorian streets — shops, a pub and cottages recreated under one roof.
Children get their own gallery of toys and games, and the upstairs displays cover everything from Leeds at play to the abbey’s own story. Pair it with the ruins opposite for a full Kirkstall day.
