One of Leicester's landmarks, newly built this year, is not well known. It's next to Leicester church. It's very interesting to set up the exhibition. It uses a lot of multimedia techniques to interact with the audience. This paper introduces the story of Richard III and the process of discovering his remains and confirming that he is Richard III by Leicester University. It is worth mentioning that Richard III is the prototype of Uncle Hamlet. He is the usurper and the last king of the Canary Dynasty in British history. It has always been a mystery in British history where the body was buried after it died in the war. There are also several films about the search for Richard III, and this year Shakespeare's troupe in London began to show the story of Richard III. Therefore, this archaeological discovery is of great importance and worth looking at in the past.
