In this month’s Curator’s Corner, we shine a spotlight on a remarkable object from our collection: the conductor’s baton of the Bradford City Police Band, presented to Conductor A. H. Chapman in 1902.

Last year, our involvement in the programme brought over 360 students from six Bradford schools through our museum doors. Working with children aged 6 to 7, we developed a bespoke workshop designed to inspire creativity and build confidence in the classroom.

We are delighted to announce the opening of our new temporary exhibition, exploring the legacy of the Bradford City Police Band, now on display in the main gallery!
