About
King Richard III Visitor Centre is a museum in Leicester, England that showcases the life of King Richard III and the story of the discovery, exhumation, and reburial of his remains in 2012–2015. For a long time, the burial place of Richard III was uncertain, although the site of his burial was assumed to be in Leicester. DNA evidence enabled the identification of his remains. The centre opened on 26 July 2014 on the site of the then recently excavated Greyfriars, the medieval friary where the King was buried in 1485 following his death at the Battle of Bosworth Field.
