Leeds Art Gallery

Leeds Art Gallery, designed by George Corson. Corson was a Scottish architect who influenced much of Victorian Leeds buildings and landscapes. He designed Leeds Grand Theatre in 1877 and the central library and art gallery in 1878. He is buried in Lawnswood cemetery.

The building to the right is a later extension, serving as the entrance to the Henry Moore Institute and was designed by John Thorp with consultant architect Neville Conder of Casson & Conder in the 1980s
