Via Jonathan at LASSN
Just in case you missed it, this excellent exhibition at Leeds City Museum continues until January 5th 2020.
Many people have come to Leeds to start a new life, including those escaping famine in Ireland in the 1800s, those seeking work opportunities, and today’s refugees arriving in our City of Sanctuary.
‘A city and its welcome’ tells the stories and experiences of those who have made a home in Leeds over the past three centuries, and how they have helped shape the city that we recognise today. Come on a journey with us to see the differences between their hopes and expectations and the realities of life in a new place, plus treasured objects brought from afar.
In 2019 Leeds City Museum will be telling a number of migration stories in our community galleries.
