The
National Museum of Photography, Film and Television is one
of the most recent jewels in West Yorkshire's crown but in
its twenty years of existance it has established itself as
the most visited museum outside London.
Much
more than just a museum, it also houses what was the first
Imax theatre in the UK and has two other cinemas which show
both art-house and more mainstream films. The Pictureville
auditorium is the only public Cinerama cinema in the world.
It
is the home of the Bradford International Film and Bite the
Mango Festivals as well as many other events.
The
Museum collection comprises more than three million objects
and will soon house the Royal Photographic Collection.
The
building itself has already been expanded and given a new
facade to bring it into the digital age.
It
is also the home of the BBC in Bradford, including this website.
