This is a rather unusually-themed museum, but a fascinating place to visit nonetheless. The collection is devoted to the history of the West Riding Pauper Lunatic Asylum, built in 1818. The exhibition deals with the sensitive topic of mental health throughout the ages. There is a range of historic pieces of restraining equipment, photographs dating back to 1862, surgical equipment and documents. There is also a scale model of the original 1818 layout.
