National Science and Media Museum, Princes Way, Bradford, BD1 1NQ – Visit Now

The National Science and Media Museum, in the heart of Bradford near Leeds,  explores the science and culture of light and sound technologies and their impact on our lives. It aims to inspire the scientists and engineers of the future to see more, hear more, think more and do more.

The galleries and exhibition spaces help illuminate world-famous collections in photography, film and television. The team of Explainers create learning activities that fuel the imagination and get under the skin of the museum’s collections and exhibitions. And its three cinema screens—including an IMAX theatre—allow the museum to showcase the magic of moving images from around the world in Bradford, the first UNESCO City of Film.
