Peace Museum to make ‘transformational’ move
The Peace Museum is making a "transformational" move from its current site in the centre of Bradford to a new home in Saltaire on the outskirts of the city.
The museum will relocate its collection to the historic Salts Mill in Saltaire, a Victorian workers village which has been a Unesco World Heritage Site since 2001.
The move is scheduled for next summer. It has been made possible by a £245,651 grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Clive Barrett, the museum's chair of trustees, said: “This project will be transformational for the Peace Museum.
“This is particularly exciting in light of Bradford receiving City of Culture for 2025, as we'll be able to welcome visitors from all over the world to our brand new museum in the heart of the district.”
The Peace Museum opened in its current site in 1998 and is currently closed as it prepares for the move. It is the only museum in the UK dedicated to peace.
