BRADFORD’S four Council-run museums will be hosting exhibitions to mark Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee this Summer.
The Museums and Galleries Service have been combing their archives for items, photos and objects relating to Her Majesty the Queen, her Coronation in 1953 and her visits to the Bradford district to create displays in each of their venues to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee.
At Cartwright Hall Art Gallery people will be able to find out about how the Coronation 1953 in was a key moment in the history of television, with sales of TV sets rocketing in the run up to the event.
Bolling Hall Museum will have displays where people will be able to discover the royal connections with popular nursery rhymes.
At Cliffe Castle Museum in Keighley and Bradford Industrial Museum visitors can learn about Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation and her Royal visits to Bradford district. On display will be a wide range of Coronation souvenirs, from tins to tea towels and table cloths, mugs to magazines, a jigsaw puzzle to pencils.
Each of the displays will be on show from June 2 until early September.
