Science and media museum reopens for Bradford 2025
Following on from an eighteen month closure due to a six million pound refurbishment the National Science and Media Museum in Bradford is once again open to the public.
The reopening on 8th January 2025 was timed to coincide with a week of launch celebrations as Bradford took on the title of being the UK's designated City of Culture for 2025.
A feature of the new look museum is an inaugural temporary exhibition "David Hockney: Pieced Together" which runs from 15 January 2024. This showcases the world-renowned local born artist David Hockney's pioneering use of photography and film.
Commenting on the exhibition Jo Quinton-Tulloch, Director of the National Science and Media Museum said: "Reopening the museum with this remarkable exhibition feels incredibly fitting. Bradford born, world-renowned artist David Hockney has continually pushed the boundaries of art, including in his pioneering approach to photography and film. David Hockney: Pieced Together provides a unique opportunity to experience this lesser-seen side to his work, including two of his iconic joiners from the museum's collection - on display for the first time in twenty five years.
"One of these joiners, created by Hockney of the museum when it first opened, weaves a lovely connection between his art and the museum itself. Showcasing Hockney's groundbreaking work through his Bradford roots makes it the perfect exhibition to begin 2025 with, marking an exciting chapter in our history."
