Colour Museum

Laura.

Laura says . . .

Britain's only Colour Museum is located in a converted wool warehouse in the heart of Bradford city centre. The museum contains two galleries, the 'World of Colour,' dedicated to light and colour, and 'Colours and Textiles,' concentrating on fabrics and dyes. Personally, I found the former far more interesting, but then I cannot say dyed fabrics have ever particularly aroused me.

You can see the world through the eyes of various animals and insects and find out what your favourite colour says about your personality.

With interactive exhibits, and workshops on everything from 'summer seaside collages' to 'making your own colourful windmill', this museum is educational, as well as enjoyable.

The Guidebook says . . .

We guarantee that you've never seen anything like it! Why? Because the Colour Museum is unique.

Dedicated to the history, development and technology of colour, it's the only museum of its kind in Europe.

A truly colourful experience for kids and adults.
