New Walk Museum

The New Walk Museum and Art Gallery is a museum on New Walk in Leicester, England, not far from the city centre.[1] Two dinosaur skeletons are permanently installed in the museum — a cetiosaur found in Rutland (affectionately named George), and a plesiosaur from Barrow upon Soar.[1] Other permanent exhibits include an Egyptian area, minerals of Leicestershire, the first Charnia fossil identified nearby, and a wildspace area featuring stuffed animals from around the world.

Exhibitions

On the first floor of the museum is an exhibition area that changes periodically. Recent exhibits have included a Wallace and Gromit display, the (now permanent) Attenborough collection of Picasso ceramics[2] and Spirits of War to Hands of Peace, an exhibit of paintings and sculpture on the horrors of war and the power of peace.[3]
