Cartwright Hall Art Gallery

Cartwright Hall can be found in stunning Lister Park, only a mile from Bradford City Centre.

Cartwright Hall (now part of Bradford District Museums and Galleries) has been collecting for over one hundred years and its collection includes works by master printmakers such as Francisco Goya, William Blake and Walter Sickert and works by modern masters –such as Pop Artists Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Richard Hamilton, LS Lowry, Anish Kapoor and Supta Biswas.

Bradford was one of the first UK local authority museum services to start collecting works by South Asian and Black artists and Cartwright Hall showcases this amazing collection.

We regularly rotate or change the collection on long-term display. Please check the website and our What’s On guide to find out about current exhibitions.

Cartwright Hall was built on the former site of Manningham Hall and opened as a gallery in 1904. The hall housed a display of loaned artworks before acquiring its own collection of Victorian and Edwardian works using funds from the 1904 Bradford Great Exhibition.

The Refreshment Room Café is at the bottom of the building.

Lister Park features a boating lake, adventure playground and features the Mughal Gardens. The park recently won another Green Flag award, reflecting its status as one of the best maintained parks in the country.
