The Abbey Museum in Leeds was originally the gate tower of a monastery, and is now converted into a Victorian-style museum. The most distinctive feature of this museum is that it has many interactive exhibits, which are very popular with children. It is very suitable for bringing young children to play here.

The overall size is relatively small and the style is postmodern. The mummies in the museum are worth seeing.
