The National Science and Media Museum in Bradford has confirmed a reopening date of 8 January, with a temporary exhibition showcasing David Hockney’s use of film and photography opening the following week.
The museum closed in June 2023 for a £6m capital project that includes two additional permanent galleries, a new passenger lift and improvements to the main entrance and foyer. Its phased reopening next year coincides with the Bradford 2025 City of Culture festivities.
From 8 January, audiences will return to the museum’s Wonderlab and Kodak photography galleries and enjoy a public programme of events, kicking off with a weekend of Wallace & Gromit screenings, model-making and workshops in partnership with Aardman. During this first weekend, the museum’s team of explainers will also be delivering free family-friendly activities with live science shows and object handling.
