Re-opened and run almost entirely by volunteer enthusiasts who believe that the industrial heritage of Calderdale should be preserved and shared with everyone, the museum houses a special collection representing the wide variety of industries that developed in Calderdale in the last 250 years. The working exhibits can't fail to evoke the spirit of the Industrial Revolution.
Suitable for all, both young and old! We are situated in the heart of Halifax's growing "cultural quarter" adjacent to the Piece Hall, Halifax railway station, Square Chapel and the famous Eureka children's museum and are considered one of the premier visitor attractions in Halifax. Don't forget to visit our cafe after your visit, where hot drinks and cake are served, and our wonderful shop selling unique locally made items.

Current Exhibitions
Report
Our temporary exhibition area is currently closed for refurbishment. Our skilful volunteers are working hard to develop a gallery dedicated to temporary exhibitions. The new gallery will give us space to display many smaller objects held in our collections which are, at present, not on view. It will also allow us to show the work of local artists, photographers and craftspeople.
The Collection
Report
Gathered together over a number of years this special collection represents a wide cross section of industry that operated in and around Calderdale. Some of the machines are the only surviving examples in the country and have been placed in settings to try and re ect a close representation to the time when they were fully operational in the not too distant past.
