New Director at Bradford’s Peace Museum

JOE BROOK will become Director of Bradford's Peace Museum, joining from National Museums Liverpool as Head of Creative Studios.

Brook takes up post in February, ahead of the organisation's move to new premises in World Heritage Site Salts Mill, Saltaire. 

He has over 25 years of experience in the museum and heritage sector, with over a decade at Bradford's National Science and Media Museum. 

“Now more than ever are the collections and stories of The Peace Museum relevant to our increasingly turbulent world," Brook said.

"I am beyond thrilled to have the opportunity to lead such a fantastic and brave organisation as it embarks on its next exciting chapter as we reimagine our museum and bring it to a new audience.”

A spokesperson for The Peace Museum commented: “This is an incredibly exciting time for The Peace Museum not just with our site move, but also as we prepare for Bradford being the UK City of Culture in 2025.

“Joe will be leading the museum through this extremely exciting transition period and beyond.”

The Peace Museum is now recruiting for a learning and engagement lead and a development lead.
