The King Richard III Visitor Centre in Leicester will open today, 26 July 2014.  Some journalists, like Sophie Campbell from the Telegraph,  were lucky enough to get a preview of the Centre.  Her article gives a good indication of what the visitors can expect.  There are quite a few articles around offering a glimpse of the Centre, here is another one by the University of Leicester.  We hope to be able to bring you an eye-witness report after the official opening.

And while we wait for our own chance to see the Visitor Centre, you might like to have a look at a reconstruction of the Grey Friars Priory in Leicester, which was carried out by the Digital Building heritage Group at De Montfort University, Leicester.  The fly-through video is not to be missed!
