National Media Museum
Five fab, exhibit-packed floors in Bradford's top attraction tell the story of photography, film, television, radio and the web. There's lots of hands-on stuff too: you can film yourself in a bedroom scene or play at being a TV newsreader. The IMAX screen shows the usual in-your-face nature films and space documentaries; regular films are also screened.

Salts Mill
Saltaire, a Victorian-era landmark and UNESCO World Heritage site, was an industrial village purpose-built in 1851 by philanthropic wool baron and teetotaller Titus Salt. The village's factory is now Salts Mill, a splendidly bright and airy cathedral-like building where the main draw is a permanent exhibition of work by Bradford-born artist David Hockney.

SDC Colour Museum
This oft-overlooked museum, run by the Society of Dyers and Colourists, is a little gem. It tells the story of Bradford's wool-dyeing trade, and has a fascinating section on how our eyes perceive colour, including a display contrasting the visual sense of different species (what's blue to you isn't blue to Fido). Visitors must book by telephone.
