The Peace Museum in Bradford focuses on the history of the peace movement in the United Kingdom.
What to see at the Peace Museum
The museum’s permanent exhibition space is made up of a collection that includes over 9,000 items. Exhibits at the museum focus on the stories of peace activists ranging from local characters to internationally-recognised figures who have campaigned for peace. It also has displays about conscientious objectors and the Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp.
The Peace Museum also hosts a programme of temporary exhibitions. Past exhibitions have focused on Kindertransport and the history of European cooperation.
Visiting the Peace Museum
The Peace Museum is on Piece Hall Yard in the heart of Bradford’s city centre. Many of the main points of interest in the city centre are within an easy walk from the museum, including Bradford Cathedral, Bradford Forster Square railway station, Bradford Interchange station, the Bradford Police Museum, Centenary Square and the National Science and Media Museum, which are all less than a 10-minute walk from the museum.
Admission to the museum is free of charge, although donations are accepted.
The museum is not wheelchair accessible as it is located on the top floor of a Victorian building that does not have a lift. Access to the museum is via a flight of 60 steps.
It is a relatively small museum and it shouldn’t take longer than an hour to visit.
