This is an excellent museum. Free of charge, although donations encouraged. Lots to see and do, very well thought out displays. I've been coming since my first school trip, which helped fuel my lifelong passion for film and television.
100% worth a visit.nFree entry for most but a fee exhibits you pay extra to go in.nThe video game floor is by far the best £3 and you can play loads of retro and classic video games.nAlso makes me feel old that video games are in a museum
Considering the museum was on the brink of closure in 2013, along with many others across the North, I think the Media Museum is doing very well and I hope it continues going from strength to strength.nnI booked my admission to the whole museum and You:Matter interactive installation before visiting the latter was only about £4 for two of us. The staff were friendly and welcoming when we arrived, which set a good tone for the rest of the visit.nnThe Kodak Gallery was great. I didn't remember it from my last visit so it's like everything was new to me. There was a lot to see and a good variety too.nnWe decided to visit the Hockney exhibition. We didn't realise beforehand that we needed to pay for entry, so maybe it would be useful to explain that at the entrance to the museum. However, I was happy to pay £1 each, not because I particularly enjoyed the exhibition it was just ok and my partner was whinging the whole time because he doesn't like Hockney's art, but because the museum is a charity and I want to be part of the reason they stay open.nnWe really enjoyed the You:Matter installation - very interactive and beautiful. This was the highlight of the trip, and the staff stewarding the exhibition were also very friendly.nnThe Wonderlab was great, we had a lot of fun. The straw experiment was particularly good, and I came away feeling like I learnt something.nnWe also enjoyed the collections room forgotten its official name, where we learnt about folk singing and explored the map which may hopefully be expanded on in the future to include more Bradford suburbs, e.g. Keighley and Ilkley?nnWe went to the café, which was expensive but otherwise no issues. I didn't buy anything from the gift shop only because we had other places to go and I didn't want to have to carry anything. However, I did feel that many of the items in the shop appealed to me.nnWe enjoyed seeing Feathers McGraw too, very much.nnAlso, people should check out their website. There are online exhibitions and collections. This is why the museum is so important. I understand the frustration that many of the galleries still weren't open after a lengthy and expensive refurbishment, but the alternative was closure, and they provide vital resources FOR FREE! I'm off to make another donation now.
Not been for about 20 years. Recently been after the refurbishment. Was ok if you have a couple of hours spare. Was free to enter but had to pay £1 to enter one area and £2 to enter another area. 2 of the areas aren’t open until the summer. Obviously rushed the opening as it’s the city of culture. Has a small gift shop and cafe. Was worth going and will go again once the other areas are open. All the staff were nice and friendly.
Whilst I knew that half the museum wasn't going to be open before visiting, I'm not sure You: Matter is substantial enough to justify being an upcharge exhibition either even if it's just £2.nnThe Wonderlab coding show, on the other hand, was presented really well.
