Leeds Art Gallery

You'll walk past this Victorian building on The Headrow countless times before realising there's a seriously good art collection inside. The Henry Moore sculptures are the obvious draw, but it's the rotating contemporary exhibitions that keep things interesting – proper thought-provoking stuff, not just pretty pictures to match your sofa. The café upstairs is where locals actually hang out, doing laptop work over flat whites and eyeing up the daily cake selection. It's got that relaxed gallery café vibe where you can spend ages nursing a coffee without anyone bothering you. Perfect for a rainy Tuesday when you need somewhere warm and cultured to kill a few hours in town.
