The Peace Museum, billed as the only museum of its kind in the UK, announced that it was to reopen at Salts Mill in Saltaire in August 2024, following a relocation from its former upper floor space on Piece Hall Yard, which it had occupied since 1994. The new site, on the third floor of the historic mill, was anticipated to provide more space for exhibits and to be more accessible to visitors. As of the time of original reporting in 2024, the Peace Museum's exhibits included a collection of banners from peace marches from across the world. A spokesperson said at the time: "The National Lottery Heritage Fund's support, made possible by National Lottery players, has enabled the creation of a new, engaging, and accessible exhibition, and educational programmes. "Generous capital funding from Bradford 2025 and Bradford City Council has allowed us to turn an unused piece of the district's history back into life. "We would also like to thank Key Fund, Art Fund, Association of Independent Museums, Pilgrim Trust, Museum Development North, and Arts Council England, who have all helped to make our move and reopening possible.
