2 Best Sights in Yorkshire, England

Hockney 1853 Gallery

Housed in a historic mill building that dates back to 1853 and was once the largest factory in the world, this gallery is devoted to a remarkable exhibition of over 300 works by Bradford-born artist David Hockney, including his largest work, a 295-foot painting depicting the changing seasons of his garden in Normandy during COVID-19 lockdown. The gallery also sells art materials and art books, plus there's a shopping complex, a café, and a diner in the building.

Leeds Art Gallery

Next door to the Victorian Town Hall, Yorkshire's most impressive art museum has a strong core collection of works by Courbet, Sisley, Constable, Crome, multiple 20th-century British masters, and the internationally acclaimed Yorkshire sculptor Henry Moore, who studied at the Leeds School of Art. The graceful statue on the steps outside the gallery is Moore's Reclining Woman. More works by Moore are at the adjacent Henry Moore Institute, which also has regular exhibitions of modern sculpture. The Craft Centre and Design Gallery, underneath the Gallery, exhibits and sells fine contemporary crafts.
