Museums & Galleries

Bradford’s museums and art galleries connect Bradford with its history, culture and inspiring citizens.  Find out more about Bradford’s history through the engaging galleries of the Industrial Museum, the eclectic displays at Cliffe Castle and the period rooms at Bolling Hall. Across the district you’ll find museums covering everything from local history to rail travel, toys to media and buses to policing.

Celebrate the artwork of David Hockney at Salts Mill and explore his work in the context of the rest of the city collection at Cartwright Hall. Atmospheric Haworth is the location for the Brontë Parsonage Museum which leads you back into the lives of the famous sisters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne who lived, wrote and were inspired by this unique place.

Bradford is the world’s first UNESCO City of Film and it is appropriate that it is the established home of the National Science and Media Museum, which continues Bradford’s film connections and also takes a look into the technology of the future.

As well as permanent displays many of our venues have a varied and changing range of exhibitions and events so you will always find something new to enjoy!
