The institute is part of the Henry Moore Foundation, set up by Moore in 1977 to give people access to learning about sculpture. Honouring Moore's aims and legacy, the institute houses a gallery, Research Library and the Leeds Museums & Galleries’ Archive of Sculptors’ Papers. Additionally it hosts free sculpture exhibitions, research events looking at new thinking on sculpture, and activities for young people, families, community groups and schools.
