Museum cinema set to reopen after RAAC closure
1st August 2024
The main cinema at Bradford’s National Science and Media Museum is set to reopen after a 10-month closure forced by concerns over crumbling concrete.
The Pictureville Cinema will open its doors once again on 31 August after undergoing “remediation works” due to the presence of reinforced aerated autoclave concrete (RAAC).
RAAC, which was used as a cheaper alternative to standard concrete, can cause buildings to be structurally unsound when exposed to moisture.
Cinema tickets will be £3 on the day of reopening, with screenings including a special showing of Wonka, a 4k restoration of Terminator to mark its 40th anniversary and the Japanese anime hit My Neighbour Totoro.
The museum previously confirmed it would be closed for an expended period to “ensure the safety of staff and visitors”…
