Moore, Henry: Foundation
Henry Spencer Moore was born on the 30th of July 1898 in the small coalmining town of Castleford, Yorkshire. He was the seventh of the eight children of Raymond Spencer Moore, and his wife Mary Baker. His mother was an affectionate woman who inevitably played a central role in her youngest son’s life. His father, a miner, was an intelligent man who read and studied widely. He was determined that all his children should be well educated, and that no son of his should work down the pit.

Moore, Henry: Institue
The Henry Moore Institute was formerly a group of neglected Victorian merchant's offices and warehouses in the centre of Leeds which were converted into an award winning gallery, study/research centre and library by the architects Jeremy Dixon and Edward Jones in 1993. In 1999 it was further remodelled to provide greater access and storage for the book, archive and slide collections.
