Join our Big Tinkering Challenge and build your own bridge which must hold a toy car or train for two minutes!

It can be done!

This is part of our new exhibition celebrating 150 years of Bradford Architects and the amazing buildings in Bradford.

As well as tinkering, you get hands on with some real museum objects and even build a 3D city.

Free. No booking required, just drop-in.
