We were visiting to see 1917 on the IMAX screen. Brilliant to see at that scale. The museum has some good permanent displays and the galleries often have interesting exhibitions to see. Good for kids and families but worth a visit whoever you are.

Having lived within 8 miles of Cartwright Hall all my life (50 years plus) this was unbelievably my first visit and what a treat. The Hall and grounds are magnificent and the exhibits (as an art lover) were quite wonderful. So many noted and popular original pieces (huge Hockney display, Lowry, Lichtenstein) to name a few. And incredibly it was free to enter!!! Multiculturalism is also celebrated and offered a great insight into Bradford's history relating to this. Although in the depths of Autumn when I visited, I could appreciate how amazing it will be to go again in the Spring or Summer to get the full benefits of the quite spectacular landscaped gardens and Lake. I have now run out of superlatives so will let you decide yourselves.
