Lost Gallery found in museum

Builders working on the new special exhibition at Leeds City Museum have discovered a long lost gallery within the building full of exciting minerals and experiments.

Inhabiting the gallery was Dr Rock, a museum curator, together with a rock collection and numerous strange objects and experiments. Leeds City Museum has decided to open this space for free to the public so they can find out what Dr Rock has unearthed.

Dr Rock, a rock and mineral genius in his own right, will be around the museum throughout the duration of the exhibition, but finding him could be a struggle. Many of his memos and films have been left around the exhibition to allow the public an insight into his work.


On display there will be a collection of poisonous rocks, human implants and the effects of putting a mobile phone in a blender amongst other exciting things.

The exhibition is being made safe and ready to open to the public on Friday 29th January.

Dr Rock is updating his blog frequently at: http://dr-rocks.blogspot.com/ . Take a look to keep up to date on new experiments and any new finds.

The special exhibition is free and will be running from Friday 29th January to Sunday 4th July 2010.
