Celebrating Twenty Years of the Kodak Gallery

June 2019. The Kodak Gallery, at Bradford's National Science and Media Museum, celebrates its twentieth year as a popular attraction. The gallery design was led by Qualia's Director, Richard Mathers, in the late 1990s as part of the Museum's £17 million refurbishment programme. The ground breaking Imaging Frontiers Millennium project also saw a new glass-fronted atrium created for the Museum and seven new and updated exhibition experiences. 

The Kodak Gallery tells the story of popular photography from the world's first photographs to the digital media of today. 

Richard has some very fond memories of his time working with curator, Colin Harding, and developing the gallery's layouts with his close friends and design colleagues at the Museum, including Imelda Kay, Paul Lee and Stewart Hirst.

Highlights include advertising, ticket sales, audience histories and the dress codes of Georgian theatre enthusiasts.

Visitors can enjoy a fascinating glimpse of behind-the-scenes roles, from theatre managers, set designers and scenery-painters, to the refreshment sellers and ticket collectors. Learn how leading artists of the day, including Hogarth, Hayman and Lambert, infiltrated the world of show business as set designers and scenery painters.
