Topic: National Media Museum

[Francois]

For those who plan on visiting the city of Bradford in West Yorkshire, I just discovered there is such a thing as the National Media Museum. Their Photography section seems well stocked...

Anyways, here's their website

I live in Leeds- about 20 mins from Bradford. The media museum is fantastic, and well worth a visit- as is Bradford- also worth visiting are the Fighting Cock (possibly the best pub on earth), the Beehive (a victorian gaslit pub) and some of the innumerable, amazing curry houses. 

Last time I was at the NMM there they had the lives of the great photographers exhibition- seeing original prints of the work of Julia Margret Cameron, Fox Talbot, HCB, Weegee, Steiglitz etc all in the same room for free was a near religious experience. They also have the Kodak gallery downstairs- which does the narritive of the development of photographic tech rather well.

Recommended.

Great place and always an worthwhile exhibition of some sort in situ.

My "ex" was from Bradford and I was lucky enough to be in town on the day when, as the "National Museum of Film, Photography and Television" it opened to the public. This place kept me sane as it proved to be a great bolt hole from the all-too-frequent visits to the "inlaws".
