Richard III Visitor Centre, Leicester

In Leicester's city center, just steps away from where the king's bones were found buried in a car park in August 2012, a new Richard III Visitor Centre will open in March 2014 with the exhibition "Richard III: Dynasty, Death and Discover." Richard, who died in 1485, was the last king of the House of York.

The larger space will expand the current exhibition, Richard III: Leicester's Search for a King," located a short hop away in The Guildhall near the Cathedral. The Guildhall is open daily from 11 to 4:30 and admission is free.
