About National Media Museum

The museum was first opened in 1983 as the “National Museum of Film, television, and photography” with a mission to investigate the image's science and art. But, first, IMAX was launched in Britain in the same year at this museum and became the giant screen in the country.

In 2017, this museum was relaunched as the National Media & Science Museum, as well as a wonderland in an excellent interactive gallery of 18 million euros dedicated to sound and light science. There is also a selection of vintage television receivers and a sizable area for new media. This is another of the best places to see in Bradford, where visitors can experience interactive exhibitions, learn history, and play retro video games.
