Peace Museum Reopening Day Announcement

The renovated space will include a newly developed permanent exhibition which explores the often-untold stories of peace, peacemakers, social reform and peace movements.

Visitors will be able to see objects from the Museum’s unique collection, including banners that were originally used at Greenham Common Peace Camp and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament’s original drawings of the now well recognized peace symbol. It will also share personal stories of people’s motivations to campaign for peace and the impacts of conflict.

The new Museum will also have temporary exhibitions, an education space, research facilities and a shop.

Visitors can find the Museum on the 3rd Floor of Salts Mill, a venue known for its beautiful historic building and for being located in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Saltaire.

This development has been made possible through the support of various funders, grants, and donations from supporters.

The National Lottery Heritage Fund's support, made possible by National Lottery players, has enabled the creation of a new engaging and accessible exhibition and educational programmes.

Generous capital funding from Bradford 2025 and Bradford City Council has allowed us to turn an unused piece of the district’s history back into life.

We would also like to thank Key Fund, Art Fund, Association of Independent Museums, Pilgrim Trust, Museum Development North and Arts Council England, who have all helped to make our move and reopening possible.

The Peace Museum’s reopening is just the beginning of what will be an exciting and ambitious next chapter.
