examining the long-standing links that the building, the family and the collections have to music,
If you visited Bradford Industrial Museum earlier this year you might have spotted the display on Baird Television & Thorn Electricals that we had in our small cafe gallery there.
Callum finished his placement with us over the summer, but has written one more blog for us to share with you about the project.
In spring 2024 Bradford District Museums and Galleries were delighted to receive a small collection of objects relating to Stephen Brown, an award-winning powerlifter who had a rare genetic condition.
In 2023, Dr Lauren Padgett, Assistant Curator of Collections, worked closely with Keighley Art Club to co-curate a temporary exhibition celebrating the Club’s history, spanning over 100 years.
One of our wonderful volunteers, Ian, has been busy reading and transcribing elements of the Butterfield archive – most recently he’s been piecing together some of the stories that the receipts and other documents can tell us. Here’s a timely one for the festive period…
Dale, our collections officer gives an insight into the preparation for this exhibition
During their visit to Bradford Industrial Museum, three generations from the same family discovered photographs of their war hero ancestor from the Belle Vue Studio.
Bradford District Museums and Galleries staff were both intrigued and delighted when Timothy Benoy, Honorary Secretary of the de Brécy Trust, contacted Cartwright Hall Art Gallery generously offering the de Brécy Tondo as a loan.
We are delighted that Chris, our Visitor Services Assistant at Bradford Industrial Museum, has written a blog post about ‘Madge’ – one of our marvellous machines!
