Even when our museums and galleries are closed you can still be inspired by our amazing objects, beautiful artworks and historic buildings.
Each week we will release a new activity idea for you to do, inspired by our wonderful collections – check our our twitter, facebook and website on a Tuesday to find the new one!
Will it be something to inspire you to draw, write, think, talk, move, make, build, explore, invent, reflect or play ?
Come back every week to find out!
We will leave the pdfs of previous activities on this page so please share and enjoy!
We would love to see some of the results: You can contact us on Twitter: @BradfordMuseums or post to our Facebook Page – @BradfordMuseums
