​​​​Museum Location, Site & Accessibility
The museum is located inside City Hall, Centenary Square, Bradford, right in the heart of the city.
​
There is lift access at the museum entrance, and much of the site is wheelchair accessible. As a historic building, the museum is compact in places, with some narrow corridors to navigate.
​
The gallery and historic cells are all on one level. The Victorian courtroom is accessed via a small set of steps; however, with care it is accessible. For visitors who are unable to use the steps, we offer a video tour of the courtroom - please let your guide know on arrival if this would be helpful.
​
We always do our best to support visitors using wheelchairs or mobility aids. If you have any questions or would like to discuss access ahead of your visit, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help.​​​​
