King Richard III Visitor Centre

The King Richard III Visitor Centre in Leicester is a museum dedicated to the history of King Richard III and his connection to the city. It was built near the site where his remains were discovered in 2012, deep beneath a parking lot. The centre offers exhibits that cover his life, reign, defeat at the Battle of Bosworth, and the discovery of his skeleton. Visitors can learn about medieval history, see interactive displays, and explore the story of Richard III’s last days and enduring legacy. It's an informative and engaging place for anyone interested in history and archaeology.
