Bradford 1 Gallery

Bradford Museums and Galleries have a new gallery in the centre of Bradford! The gallery is within the new development that has rejuvenated Centenary Square as a place to meet, eat, drink or just hang out. Now you can also go and see great new exhibitions.

Bradford 1 Gallery is the new city centre space for exhibitions of contemporary and historic art and craft. It will host shows from national and regional touring venues as well as drawing upon the major collections of the museums and galleries service.

It is a partnership with Impressions Gallery. This innovative contemporary photography gallery has re-located from York to Bradford and will also have its own new gallery. Both institutions will share public areas and an education space.
