There’s something brilliant about seeing your favourite film on the big screen, especially when it looks and sounds so good. To see the Phil Leakey and Roy Ashton collection before the film as well was the icing on the cake. What a top night it was last Thursday! Thanks @mediamuseum 😊

Parker and I had a superb day in Bradford - been a lot of years since we last visited. @waterstonesbradford is really lovely (and I had my hand licked by a guide dog which felt like I was being blessed!). And we really enjoyed @mediamuseum. #bradford #yorkshire #bookstagram #wallaceandgromit #minidisc

An incredible day at the @mediamuseum yesterday for our HN & year two photographers.

We had the most amazing opportunity of experiencing some of the archival photographers with thanks to the research team at the museum. Students got to see original works by masters in photography such as; Martin Parr, Don McCullin, Julia Margaret-Cameron, Chris Killip, Cecil Beaton and many more!
We learned a lot about the history of the photographs and explored cultural and contextual references.

After an explore around the museum itself, we then headed to The Loading Bay @bradfordcultureco to see a fantastic, and interactive exhibition.

We are very looking to have the City of Culture 2025 on our doorstep. Back again in a few weeks with our year one photographers.

I love the teaching days when we get out of the classroom to see things, and today was a great joy. It sparks imagination and creativity into me and my students.

A little red carpet moment from last night's fantastic event at the @mediamuseum

Great to catch up with some lovely people for the Northern UK premiere of @hammer_films newly restored 4K version of Dracula (1958) at @picturevillecinema

An incredible evening celebrating classic horror cinema, with behind-the-scenes access to the museum's collections and a chance to experience one of Hammer Horror's most iconic films back on the big screen.

Huge thanks to the National Science and Media Museum and Hammer Films for a brilliant evening and for having us along!

If you love film, television, gaming and everything behind the magic of the screen, you NEED to visit the @mediamuseum

This place is absolutely incredible, taking you through the history of cinema, television, photography, animation, sound and video games, showing how the technology we take for granted today has evolved over the years, it made me feel old seeing some of the things on display

From Doctor Who and Daleks to movie props, practical effects, vintage cameras, classic gaming consoles and interactive experiences.

The fantastic Sound and Vision galleries alone feature over 500 exhibits, which was my favourite part, I've taken faw too many pictures and videos

There's even an IMAX cinema!

Have you visited the National Science and Media Museum in Bradford? What was your favourite exhibit?
