Leeds Museum

The new museum holds many treasures, but my favourite is this Roman mosaic depicting Romanus and Remus suckling on the she-wolf that rescued them from the river bank on which they had been abandoned. She looks like an affable sort of creature, no? One source* suggests that she actually fed the twins biscuits.



Edifying diversions include mincing around in a animal print cloak, puzzling over the relevance of items in the 'History of Leeds' section and, if a parent, reading from the information points your child is conveniently unable to comprehend, in a smug bid to appear sagacious.

But children aren't daft. Upon perusing the 'How to Save the World' public comment board, observe the perspicacity of one nine year old: 'Use less paper! So I shouldn't really be writing this then...' That's right my child, the ice caps are melting because of YOU and your scribbling chums.
