Bradford's Peace museum will reopen in a new location in August, it has been announced.

The Telegraph and Argus reports that the museum has been based in the city centre since it opened in 1994, but from August 10, it will move to Salts Mill in Saltaire, giving it a larger space to showcase its collection while improving accessibility.

A museum spokesperson said: “The National Lottery Heritage Fund's support, made possible by National Lottery players, has enabled the creation of a new engaging and accessible exhibition and educational programmes.

“Generous capital funding from Bradford 2025 and Bradford City Council has allowed us to turn an unused piece of the district’s history back into life.

“We would also like to thank Key Fund, Art Fund, Association of Independent Museums, Pilgrim Trust, Museum Development North, and Arts Council England, who have all helped to make our move and reopening possible.

“The Peace Museum’s reopening is just the beginning of what will be an exciting and ambitious next chapter.”
